The DAF MB200 was a mid-underfloor-engined coach/bus chassis produced by DAF in Eindhoven, The Netherlands, during the 1970s and 1980s. It was fitted with a DAF 11.6 litre diesel engine and ZF transmission, in either manual or automatic styles.{{Citation needed|date=July 2017}}

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.[http://www.buslistsontheweb.co.uk/index.htm?http://www.buslistsontheweb.co.uk/list.asp?listname=560&Type=Chassis DAF / VDL MB200] Bus Lists on the Web An articulated version was bodied in Australia by Austral for Brisbane Transport in 1985.[http://archive.commercialmotor.com/article/11th-may-1985/16/aussie-day Aussie Day] Commercial Motor 11 May 1985[http://www.brisbanetransport.info/index.php?GoTo=fleetspecs&find=DAF+MBG+200+artic+%5BAustral%5D&searching=yes DAF MBG200 artic] Brisbane Transport Buses

During the mid-1980s, the MB200 was superseded by the MB230, which continued in production until 1993.[http://archive.commercialmotor.com/article/24th-august-1985/16/daf-boost-mb-range Daf boost MB range] Commercial Motor 24 August 1985
