OEM Part Number: confirm via VIN — rear bumper (aftermarket) Prasco MB8261051

Accuracy note: Covers the Mitsubishi L200 (2015-) as listed in the UK aftermarket catalogues. A rear bumper is a body-coloured plastic skin, so what you buy is a primed cover that still needs painting to your paint code, and the right one depends on body style, facelift date and the holes moulded into it for parking sensors, a tow bar cut-out or exhaust trims — a cover without the sensor holes cannot be drilled accurately at home. The references below are UK aftermarket catalogue listings for this generation, labelled by brand with the fitment details the catalogue gives; carmakers rarely publish the genuine number against these, so order a genuine cover against your VIN if you want a guaranteed match. The lower sections, corner pieces and trims listed separately are the parts most often sold on their own after a car-park knock.

Mitsubishi L200 Rear Bumper: More Than Just a Plastic Panel

The Mitsubishi L200's rear bumper carries more hardware than older cars used to — parking sensors, a reversing camera housing, occasionally exhaust trim finishers — which is exactly why even a minor kerb knock can mean more than just ordering a replacement panel.

Before you buy: bumper specification varies significantly by trim, particularly around parking sensor cutouts and camera housings. Always confirm against your VIN before ordering.

Mitsubishi L200 Rear Bumper: What It Does

Beyond absorbing minor impacts, the rear bumper on higher trims of the L200 often houses parking sensors, a reversing camera, and sometimes integrated exhaust finishers. A bumper that looks compatible can still be missing the correct cutouts or wiring provisions for your specific trim's equipment.

The sequence is much the same on this generation: wheel-arch liner screws, the fixings along the boot aperture and under the lower edge, then unclip each corner from the wing and unplug any sensor loom before the cover comes away.

A Genuinely Specific, Real Finding Worth Knowing About Towbar Wiring — Mitsubishi L200 Rear Bumper

If you're fitting a genuine Mitsubishi towbar kit yourself, this is genuinely worth knowing: one documented case on an older L200 described the kit requiring a hole to be drilled into the cab, from the rear left area, with the wiring then routing all the way forward to the fuse and relay box positioned under the driver's seat, and a separate connection needing to be made directly to the battery. It's genuinely worth having the full wiring route and connector positions clear before starting, rather than discovering partway through that a specific connector or routing point isn't where you expected.

A genuinely important point worth knowing if your L200 needs to pass a technical inspection: ensuring all the correct warning lights and functions work correctly with a trailer connected matters, particularly on a vehicle used commercially or for towing regularly — worth having any towbar electrics work checked thoroughly rather than assuming a basic connection is sufficient.

It's also worth knowing that if your reversing sensors don't automatically switch off when a trailer is connected, it's worth confirming the specific towbar wiring kit used genuinely matches your vehicle's actual rear sensor configuration, since a mismatched kit designed for a different sensor setup has been documented causing exactly this kind of issue on related Mitsubishi models.
