2008 Mitsubishi Delica 2.4L Petrol · EG08 FZK

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a clean pass on 2 December 2025 at 111,362 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable but indicates a reactive approach rather than preventative care. While the vehicle failed just one day prior to that test due to a structural failure in the offside rear tyre and perishing on the nearside rear tyre, the immediate rectification of these defects suggests the owner addresses safety-critical items once they are officially flagged by the tester. At 18 years old, the recorded 111,362 miles represent an average of approximately 6,187 miles per year, which aligns with typical low-duty usage for this age. The data shows consistent annual mileage, with roughly 5,000 miles covered between the December 2024 and December 2025 tests. This regular usage generally suggests the vehicle has not sat for extended periods, which is beneficial for seals and rubber components, though the low mileage does not explain the rubber degradation seen in the history. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension, as the record shows recurring issues with track rod end ball joints and dust covers between 2022 and 2023. The repeated mentions of perishing boots and play indicate that rubber components are reaching the end of their life cycle due to age. Given the history of tyre cracking and perishing noted in 2024 and 2025, a thorough check of the current sidewalls and inner edges is necessary to ensure no further dry rot exists. Considering the age of the Delica, a close inspection of the chassis for structural corrosion is also vital, as the MOT record does not detail the state of the frame beyond basic pass requirements.
