Major engine rebuild at 131,000 miles

Extensively maintained & upgraded

This is a distinctive, well-equipped truck that has had a considerable amount of mechanical maintenance and preventative work carried out during my ownership.

Reason for sale

Only selling due to a change of job.I've got my new vehicle now and can't keep two motors and my wifes car on the drive !

Maintenance

I've owner-maintained the truck with engine oil and oil-filter changes approximately every 3,000–4,000 miles, along with regular fuel-filter and air-filter changes.

I've always tried to keep on top of maintenance rather than simply waiting for annual service intervals.

In addition to the routine servicing, a substantial amount of major mechanical work has been carried out.

Major engine work – approximately 131,000 miles

Approximately £4,500 was spent on major engine work at around 131,000 miles.

The documented work/parts include:

- Crankshaft

- Crankshaft bearings

- Conrods and conrod bearings

- Pistons and rings

- Balance-shaft components and belt

- Timing belt

- Full gasket set / head gasket

- Engine oil and filter

- Associated fluids

The truck has therefore covered only approximately 15,000 miles since the major engine work.

Further recent mechanical work

- New clutch – August 2025

- 3 replacement injectors

- Injector seals and injector-seat work

- New SCV valve

- New front wheel bearings

- New front brake discs and pads

- New wheel-speed sensors

- Recent engine oil and filter change

- Tracking recently completed

- Professionally undersealed – July 2026

- New front windscreen – July/August 2026

- Fresh MOT

There is paperwork/invoices for significant work carried out on the truck.

Fresh MOT

The L200 passed its MOT on 19 August 2026 at 145,681 miles and is MOT'd until 18 August 2027.

For complete transparency, the MOT tester recorded advisories relating to previously repaired/undersealed chassis, subframe/suspension mounting areas, rear leaf-spring anchor area, rear shock absorbers and brake pipe being covered in underseal. This is annual preventative maintenance

Specification & upgrades

Being the long-wheelbase / long-bed Double Cab, it's a particularly useful truck while still having the full five-seat cab.

It also has a substantial list of upgrades and accessories:

- Colour-coded rear canopy / hardtop

- Canopy roof bars

- Load-bed liner / protective coating

- Bronze alloy wheels

- BFGoodrich All-Terrain tyres

- 30mm wheel spacers

- Wide wheel arches

- Full wide-body mouldings

- Blacked-out chrome

- Custom bonnet moulding

- Custom front grille

- LED bonnet running lights integrated with turn signals

- High-level rear vertical LED indicators

- Horizontal LED indicator arrows

- LED running lights

- LED repeaters

Overhead moulding with 8 LEDs

- Rear auxiliary LED lighting

- Towbar

- 7-pin towing electrics

- 40-inch LED roof bar included, currently removed following windscreen replacement

- Rear electric window is handy for hauling long objects

Interior & technology

Barbarian specification with leather interior, plus:

- Large upgraded Android touchscreen head unit

- Android Auto / smartphone connectivity

- Google Maps / navigation

- Bluetooth / music functionality

- Reversing camera displayed through the main screen

- Auxiliary 3 switch panel for external led light arrangements including light bars ( they are very very bright !)

- Custom L200 front seat covers

- Custom floor mats

The reversing camera is particularly useful given the size of the long-bed truck.

Performance modifications

The truck has been professionally Stage 1 mapped and also has an upgraded intercooler and vacuum hoses.

For complete transparency, the EGR has been blanked and the DPF has been removed professionally and mapped by the same company. Pulls great 👍🏻.

Known fault

The Abs traction-control warning light remains illuminated. This requires attention to the steering-angle sensor/system.

I'm mentioning this upfront so there are no surprises for anyone viewing the truck.

Condition

This is a 2012 pickup with approximately 145,780 miles, so it has age and use-related marks and should not be expected to be cosmetically perfect.

That said, it presents very well for its age and has a distinctive appearance with the wide-body setup, bronze wheels, BFGoodrich tyres, canopy and lighting upgrades.
