What does it cost?
For The 138bhp engine delivers respectable pace and flexibility, and a Single Cab model is the best for load-carrying. However, the biggest attraction will be the tax benefits for business users.
Against Base 4Work models have a CD player with MP3 compatibility, but little else in the way of equipment.
What Car? says
This really is a workhorse special. It's fine if you're looking for a tool to do a job, but we think that a Double Cab model with a little more equipment is a more appealing prospect.

Buyer's notes
Target Price team says:
The advantages of the Mitsubishi L200 are really obvious if you're a business user. Not only might you be able to claim back the VAT when you buy one, you may also incur a lower tax liability.
Which of the various models you choose will depend on how you intend to use it, as the range includes everything from a basic Single Cab workhorse to a Club Cab and the most car-like, the Double Cab, which still has a 2700kg towing capacity. All have the same engine (although there are some upgraded special-edition models with more power), and if you want to save money as an owner, it’s worth considering Mitsubishi’s Service Plan.
This will cover all the scheduled services required throughout the first three years of a new car’s life, ensuring that they are performed by Mitsubishi-trained technicians, using genuine Mitsubishi parts. You can also include the cost of the plan in your finance, and the plan can be transferred to a new owner if you sell your vehicle.

Mitsubishi L200 Pick-up 2.5 DI-D Double Cab Warrior 4dr
This model is a little too expensive to recommend. You can get everything that's good about in a Double Cab L200 for less - a 4Life, for instance.
