The first of over 600 was imported to the United Kingdom in 1975, at a time when continental-manufactured buses and coaches were still relatively uncommon. An articulated version was bodied in Australia by Austral for Brisbane Transport in 1985.
During the mid-1980s, the MB200 was superseded by the MB230, which continued in production until 1993.
