If you own a Mitsubishi L200 from the 2015 model year onwards, you may encounter issues with the starter motor. This critical component is responsible for igniting the engine’s combustion process, and any malfunction can result in noticeable symptoms. Are you hearing a clicking sound when turning the key, or perhaps the engine doesn't turn over at all? These are classic indications that the starter motor may be failing.
Varying factors can contribute to these troubles. A primary culprit often involves electrical connections that have become corroded or loose over time. Moreover, the starter motor itself might suffer from internal wear and tear after several years of service. In damp or particularly cold environments, added strain is placed on this component, sometimes leading to earlier than expected failures.
The repair process for a defective starter motor in your Mitsubishi L200 requires precision and expertise. Initially, a thorough diagnosis is needed to confirm the fault. This typically involves testing the battery, inspecting all electrical connections, and assessing the starter motor’s condition using specialized equipment. If a replacement is necessary, the old unit must be meticulously disconnected, ensuring that all electrical and mechanical connections are intact and operational post-installation.
Given the complexities and the requirement for specific tools and diagnostic equipment, it’s advisable for this kind of work to be handled by a professional mechanic. Depending on the extent of damage or wear, repair costs can escalate, especially when considering labor charges alongside the price of a replacement starter motor.
Contemplating the uncertainties and potential expenses involved in repairing a Mitsubishi L200 starter motor, have you thought about an alternative solution?

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.

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.
