The reason you can't find that vehicle in a list of cars is because it's not a car!

The Mitsubishi L200 is (for road tax purposes) a 'Light Goods Vehicle'. If it was registered between March 2003 and December 2006, it qualifies as 'Euro 4 compliant', with annual tax of just �120. Otherwise the tax is �180 per year for any LGV registered from March 2001 onwards. (LGVs registered prior to March 2001 are taxed at �120pa with an engine size below 1550cc or �185pa for larger engines).

The �900 figure relates to the road tax you pay on a new vehicle considered a gas guzzler and will be added onto the price of the vehicle. Annual road tax will be as Buenchico suggests...
