Position lamp not working on the Mitsubishi L200

Is this unusual for this model?
| Compared with | What it says |
|---|---|
| Every car in the data | 2.1% of tests record it — this model is 2.2× that share |
| The 321 models compared | 49 of 321, highest first |
| The model's own record | 299,746 tests · every year of the L200 → |
A share of tests is not a probability for your car: it counts every Mitsubishi L200 tested, whatever its mileage, service history and use. The like-for-like comparison on the model page is the fairer number.
