2018 MITSUBISHI CANTER3.0L Diesel

The vehicle appears roadworthy based on its last recorded test, though the data is significantly outdated. The most recent entry from March 10, 2023, at 131,425 miles resulted in a pass with no defects. This follows a stable trend of clean passes since February 2020, suggesting the vehicle was maintained to a basic legal standard during its active testing period. The mileage record contains a critical discrepancy that raises concerns regarding the accuracy of the odometer. Between February 2022 and February 2021, the mileage jumped from 119,165 to 156,028 miles, only to drop back to 131,425 miles by March 2023. This reverse mileage trend is a major red flag. It suggests either a clerical error by the MOT testers or potential odometer tampering. The high annual average of 16,428 miles puts significant stress on the drivetrain and chassis. Given the lack of recent data since early 2023, a buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the structural integrity. Focus on the chassis rails and load area for corrosion, as these are common failure points for the Canter. Check for wear in the suspension bushes and coil springs, as the high mileage likely exhausted their service life. Inspect the brake discs and calipers for binding or excessive pitting, especially if the vehicle has sat idle since the last test in 2023. A full mechanical audit of the engine and transmission is necessary to verify the actual wear and tear associated with the conflicting mileage readings.
