What do six years of MOTs show about owning a Mitsubishi Delica?

Of failed Mitsubishi Delica MOTs, 16.0% were retested the same day and a further 71.2% within 10 days; the median failed car passed its retest after 4 days (2019–2024, n = 2,590).

Is low mileage better for a Mitsubishi Delica?

Mitsubishi Delicas aged 14 to 14 doing under 5,000 miles a year failed first time in 33.9% of tests, against 37.5% for those doing 8,000 to 12,000 miles (2019–2024, n = 62).

How many years is a Mitsubishi Delica likely to last?

Mitsubishi Delicas tend to last: at ten years old the typical one has about 30 more years of MOTs ahead, more than the median model. This is a forecast from the survival curve and may not come true.

If a Mitsubishi Delica fails, does it fail again?

32.7% of Mitsubishi Delicas that failed an MOT failed the next one too, against 37.2% after a pass (2019–2024, n = 958). The failure most likely to come back is ‘noise, emissions and leaks’: 31.7% of those fails recurred at the next MOT.

What does a Mitsubishi Delica cost to run in a fleet?

Of every 100 Mitsubishi Delicas tested at age 17, about 32 failed the MOT first time (rough estimate); at age 19, about 42 (rough estimate). These are one-year rates for different cars tested in the same year, not a fleet followed over time (2024).

Mitsubishi Delica MOT: quick answers

What is the Mitsubishi Delica first-time MOT pass rate?

59.9% of first attempts passed in 2024 (1,342 tests). Retests after repair are excluded; cars fixed at the test centre (PRS) are shown separately.

Why does this number differ from other sites?

Other sites may count retests or all attempts. This page uses 1,342 primary tests: 40.09% failed first time and 64.8% passed when cars fixed at the test centre (PRS) count as passes. The age-adjusted MOT Risk Index 112.1 is shown separately.
