Mitsubishi L200 Warrior Di D D/c (2008)
2008 Mitsubishi L200 Warrior Di D D/c
CarHunch analysed 145 real MOT records for the 2008 Mitsubishi L200 Warrior Di D D/c. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2008 Mitsubishi L200 Warrior Di-D is a problematic proposition at MOT time: only 56.7% pass first time, compared to the UK average of 80%, meaning nearly half will need repairs before they're roadworthy. The good news is that dangerous defects are absent from this cohort, so failures tend to be fixable rather than safety-critical.
These trucks are running hard, with a median mileage of 135,255 miles at over 16 years old, and they're averaging 1.48 failures per vehicle—suggesting the diesel engine and drivetrain accumulate expensive wear. Before buying one, budget for a pre-purchase inspection by a diesel specialist and expect remedial work; this isn't a buy-it-as-seen prospect.
What to check before buying a 2008 Mitsubishi L200 Warrior Di D D/c
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
