2005 Mitsubishi Delica 2.5L Diesel · L223 WPX

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend despite recent setbacks. The most recent test on 11 June 2025 at 146,395 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This followed a failure just two days prior at 146,393 miles which curiously showed no recorded defects in the system, suggesting either an administrative entry error or a minor non-testable issue that was immediately rectified rather than a systemic mechanical failure. At 21 years old, the recorded mileage of 146,395 miles represents an annual average of approximately 7,000 miles. This figure is consistent with typical light usage for a Japanese vehicle of this age. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 3,500 miles covered between June 2023 and June 2024, and approximately 2,800 miles covered between June 2024 and June 2025. This regularity suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stationary neglect which often helps preserve seals and braking components. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and sills, as older Mitsubishis are prone to corrosion in hidden areas. While the MOT history is clean of advisories, the age of the vehicle necessitates a close look at suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of perished rubber or fatigue. Given the recent failures without recorded defects, verify the condition of the exhaust emissions system and brake fluid to ensure the recent pass was not merely the result of replacing minor lighting bulbs or minor sensor adjustments.
