The 2017 L200 is the mid-cycle generation with Mitsubishi's 2.4-litre turbo diesel and a 6-speed manual in most markets — a simple, robust drivetrain but expect a conventional DPF and EGR system. It commonly comes as a Double Cab in Ireland, with payloads typically around the 900–1,100 kg range and braked towing roughly up to about 3,000–3,100 kg depending on spec. Commercial insurance and load/payload considerations matter here — check the cab configuration (single/club/double) and whether the truck has been used heavily for towing or farm work.

• Rear leaf-spring sag and evidence of overload (uneven ride height or cracked leaves).
• Load bed corrosion under liners, tailgate hinges and mounting points — look beneath any bedliner.
• 4WD engagement and front diff operation (electrical switches/viscous coupling/locking hubs if fitted).
• DPF/EGR condition and service history — heavy short-trip use causes soot buildup and regeneration issues.
• Clutch feel and gearbox shifting (manual clutch slip after heavy towing is common on older pickups).
