2013 Mitsubishi Fuso Canter 3.0L Diesel · CX13 AOU

The 2013 Mitsubishi Fuso Canter shows a history of recurring mechanical wear consistent with its high mileage profile. The most recent test on 24 June 2026 at 190,432 miles passed but revealed new issues including inoperative offside indicator and hazard tell-tales alongside a hydraulic leak from the power steering system. The vehicle continues to suffer from worn nearside front upper suspension arm pins and bushes, which have been flagged consistently since at least 2020. Additionally, the rear brake discs remain pitted and scored, and the tester noted binding rear brakes for the first time in the latest inspection. The vehicle has covered 190,432 miles over 13 years, averaging approximately 14,650 miles per year. This high usage places significant strain on the heavy-duty drivetrain and suspension. Between April 2022 and November 2024, the vehicle covered only 778 miles, suggesting a period of very low use or storage before returning to frequent service. The MOT failures in 2024 and 2025 highlight a lack of proactive maintenance regarding consumable items, with multiple failures for tyres reaching the cords and under-inflated conditions. A thorough inspection should focus on the front suspension geometry and the braking system. The persistent wear on the upper suspension arm bushes indicates these components are nearing the end of their functional life and will soon require replacement. The newly reported hydraulic leak in the power steering system should be monitored to ensure it does not escalate into a more costly pump failure. While the vehicle passed its latest test, the combination of pitted rear discs and binding calipers suggests the braking system requires immediate attention to ensure consistent performance and safety.
