When your Mitsubishi L200 starts showing signs of engine trouble, it can be a daunting challenge. As a UK-based master tech mechanic with over 15 years of experience, I've seen a variety of issues that could affect your vehicle. If you’re considering a Mitsubishi L200 (2006 to 2015) engine for sale, let's discuss some common problems, diagnostic tips, and why you might consider selling your vehicle to a service like Vandervan instead.
The Mitsubishi L200 engines from 2006 to 2015 are generally robust but are susceptible to certain issues as they age. Some common problems include overheating, oil leaks, and unusual noises such as knocking or tapping. These symptoms can stem from faults like head gasket failures, worn piston rings, or issues within the cooling system. Ignoring these signs can lead to more severe engine damage or even complete failure.
To accurately pinpoint the source of your trouble, thorough diagnostics are essential. This typically involves checking the engine code with a scanner, inspecting the engine for visible signs of wear or damage, and performing tests like compression checks or leak-down tests. Only through a comprehensive inspection can the root cause be clearly identified.
Repairing an engine, especially in models as seasoned as the 2006 to 2015 Mitsubishi L200, might involve replacing significant components such as the head gasket, pistons, or even the entire engine block. Depending on the severity of the damage, this process can be not only time-consuming but also incredibly costly.
Given the complexity and potential costs of engine repairs, have you considered simply selling your Mitsubishi L200? Services like Vandervan offer an immediate solution. Why not get a 30-second online quote and potentially sell your van the very next day? Vandervan collects from anywhere in the UK and transfers the payment instantly to a bank account of your choosing. This hassle-free approach not only saves you from costly repairs but also frees you to invest in a more reliable vehicle.
When considering the Mitsubishi L200 (2006 to 2015) engine for sale, it's essential to weigh the costs and time against the value of your vehicle. Sometimes, selling your current van and upgrading to a newer model might be the more economical and stress-free option. Interested in learning more about how easy it can be?

Yes, you can indeed sell your financed van with vandervan even if it's under a Hire Purchase (HP) or Personal Contract Purchase (PCP) agreement.
If you decide to sell your financed van, the initial step is to obtain a 'settlement figure' from your lender, which you can usually find in a settlement letter. Following that, get a valuation for your van.
Our team will walk you through the settlement process.
We do not charge any fees. There are no admin charges or anything like that. Just your van, your money, instantly.
By selling your van through our service, you join a robust network of over 4,000 verified dealers.
This can often result in a more favourable price compared to part exchange, where you might find yourself confined to a single dealer’s assessment, which might not accurately represent the real market value of your van.
Part exchanges often result in less favourable outcomes for sellers, particularly if the dealer is not intending to retail your van and plans to pass it along instead.
However, with our van buying service, you stand a better chance of obtaining a great price.
The process with us is quick and straightforward. Simply start with a free valuation and contrast this with your part exchange offer. You might be delighted to find how much more you could get from using our service than you’d get from a part exchange!

We buy any van make or model, and any body type. Get a valuation today and see if we can help you sell your van.
Fortunately, we buy any van even if they do not have a logbook, although it is advantageous if you have a full V5 Logbook, or at least the green New Keeper Slip.
It makes it tougher to sell to our network of 4000+ verified dealers, as we have to wait for the DVLA to process a V62 application (usually 6 weeks), so our valuations reflect the delay in sale and storage costs while rectifying missing V5 logbooks.
