2016 Mitsubishi Fuso Canter 3.0L Diesel · RX16 XHC

The most recent MOT on 2026-02-17 shows both a passed and failed result for the same date, indicating potential inconsistency in the testing process. The passed test noted offside front service brakes barely meeting requirements, nearside front tyre wear, nearside rear brake pipe corrosion, and offside front wheel bearing play. The failed test on the same day added an ineffective windscreen wiper and repeated issues with brake pipe corrosion and wheel bearing play. These findings suggest persistent mechanical concerns, particularly with braking components and tyre conditions. Recurring defects include brake pipe corrosion, wheel bearing play, and tyre wear/defects. The nearside rear brake pipe corrosion and offside front wheel bearing play appear in multiple MOTs dating back to 2024, indicating unresolved issues. Tyre-related failures, such as edge wear and cuts, also recur, raising concerns about maintenance practices or ongoing stress on the vehicle’s components. No new major defects are documented in the latest MOT, but the repetition of older issues implies a lack of corrective action. The vehicle’s mileage of 40,619 miles over 10 years equates to roughly 4,062 miles annually, which is low for its age. This could reflect light usage or extended periods of inactivity.
