MITSUBISHI L200 Rare
As of 2026 Q1, 135 MITSUBISHI L200s remain registered in the UK — a genuinely rare sight on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 298 in 2014 Q3 — only 45% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 163 cars. They're disappearing at roughly 9 a year (6.8% of what's left), a pace that would halve the survivors by around 2036 if it held — though in practice the last, most-cherished examples tend to linger far longer. Tellingly, 84% are declared SORN — kept off the road in garages and barns rather than driven, the signature of a car being looked after rather than used up. In all, the MITSUBISHI L200 is rarer than 57% of the 2,429 UK car models we track.

About the L200
The Mitsubishi Triton, also known as the Mitsubishi L200, is a mid-size pickup truck produced by Mitsubishi Motors.

In the United States, Mitsubishi marketed it as the Mitsubishi Mighty Max until 1996. Chrysler Corporation sold captive imports as the Dodge D50, Dodge Ram 50 and Plymouth Arrow truck in the U.S. and as the Chrysler D-50 in Australia. For most export markets the name L200 is used, though it has also been known as the Rodeo, Colt, Storm...
