2003 Mitsubishi Delica 3.0L Petrol · LU03 JUX

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a successful test on 23 January 2026 at 92,954 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as evidenced by three consecutive clean passes between December 2022 and December 2024. The most recent test followed a failure, but the owner demonstrated proactive maintenance by addressing the faults within two weeks, resulting in a clean re-test with no recorded defects. At 92,954 miles, this 23-year-old Mitsubishi has covered an average of approximately 4,041 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage patterns between 2022 and 2024, with the vehicle covering roughly 5,000 to 6,000 miles annually during that period. The gap of only 5,596 miles between December 2024 and 2026 suggests a period of significantly lower use or extended storage, which often leads to the degradation of rubber components and fluid seals rather than mechanical wear from mileage. A buyer should specifically inspect the front drivetrain assembly due to the failures recorded in January 2026. The tester flagged split constant velocity boots on both the inner and outer drive shaft joints, alongside a loose securing bolt. While these were repaired, a physical inspection of the new boots for signs of grease leakage or tearing is necessary to ensure quality installation. Given the low mileage and vehicle age, the inspection should also check for surface corrosion on the chassis and suspension mounts, as these areas are prone to oxidation when vehicles sit stationary for long periods.
