Mitsubishi L200 2018

Owners report that fuel consumption in the Mitsubishi L200 varies significantly between petrol and diesel variants, which is a key consideration before purchase. A common complaint is that the vehicle is considered a 'workhorse' that doesn't pull hard enough on inclines, especially in older variants, raising concerns about performance in everyday driving situations. Additionally, drivers express doubts about market prices for the older model (1991–94) and whether it is sold at a fair price or above the list price.

Owners report a common air conditioning fault in the L200, where refrigerant leaks lead to the need for a full system replacement at a high cost of around $900. Some note that costs can be reduced by installing cheaper non-OEM compressors from alternative sources, such as compressors from China or industrial suppliers in Thailand, at prices below $300.
