1995 MITSUBISHI DELICA2.5L Diesel

The vehicle is roadworthy overall but carries a persistent pattern of corrosion and brake-related issues that warrant ongoing attention. The most recent test on 7 July 2026 at 196,127 miles passed with a list of recurring failures, including corroded brake pipes front to rear, fuel pipe corrosion, and an oil leak that was not excessive. The record shows the vehicle has been failing on the same brake pipe corrosion and oil leak issues across multiple tests, indicating a stable, unresolved maintenance problem rather than a one-off defect. The mileage of 196,127 miles over 31 years is roughly consistent with typical use for a vehicle of this age, at about 6,327 miles per year. The data is sparse, with only a handful of recorded tests, and there are no significant gaps in the mileage timeline that would suggest unusually high wear. The last test was only 12 days ago, so the vehicle is still within the valid MOT period and the most recent record provides the best current picture of its condition. A buyer should inspect the rear leaf springs, rear brake pipes, and the fuel system for any signs of corrosion or leakage, as these components have been flagged repeatedly. The suspension system shows minor play in the front lower ball joints and rear leaf springs, which is typical for a vehicle of this age but should be checked for further deterioration. The brake system, particularly the brake pipes and front service brakes, requires a thorough mechanical inspection to confirm that the corrosion is not affecting stopping performance.
