It took a while to understand the L200 phenomenon, where the UK's best selling pickup by a huge margin was some way off being the best. Until recently, service intervals were just 4,500 miles and the engines were getting antiquated. The new model, though, has a decent common-rail engine, service intervals are increased to an acceptable level and the styling does much to disguise the fact that there is still a square-cornered load box out back.

Much of Mitsubishi's success is down to its fleet preparation operation. which provides a comprehensive pre-delivery customisation service, from fitting a tow-bar to creating an ambulance. Mitsubishi has resisted the temptation to move the L200's dimensions one size larger like the Nissan and Toyota rivals. The old L200 model remains on sale for a while yet, offering an irresistible financial proposition for the less fashion conscious buyer.
