2003 Mitsubishi Delica 3.0L Petrol · VT03 BCK

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status following a clean pass in its most recent inspection on 14 March 2026. Although the record indicates a failure on that same date, the lack of recorded defects on the subsequent pass suggests a minor issue was rectified immediately to meet safety standards. The maintenance trend appears consistent, as the vehicle met all regulatory requirements during the last two annual testing cycles. The mileage data reveals a significant anomaly that warrants close scrutiny. Between 20 March 2025 and 14 March 2026, the vehicle covered 31,245 miles in just over a year, which contrasts sharply with the historical average of approximately 2,618 miles per year over its 23-year life. The recorded mileage of 60,204 miles in the final test suggests either a clerical error or an odometer rollback, as such a rapid accumulation of mileage places unexpected strain on drivetrain components, suspension bushings, and braking systems that typically remain less worn on low-use vehicles. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the chassis and underbody, as low-age Mitsubishi Delicas are prone to structural corrosion in the sills and rear floor pans. Given the recent spike in recorded mileage, inspect the shock absorbers for leaks and check the brake discs and pads for excessive wear or uneven thinning. Verify the authenticity of the odometer against wear patterns on the tyres and pedals to ensure the 60,204 figure accurately reflects the actual mechanical state of the vehicle.
