Mitsubishi Canter 75 7c14 (2005)
2005 Mitsubishi Canter 75 7c14
CarHunch is tracking 132 2005 Mitsubishi Canter 75 7c14 vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.
This 2005 Mitsubishi Canter 75 7C14 is in severe trouble on the road: only 1.4% of tested vehicles pass their MOT first time, compared to the UK average of 80%, making it one of the least reliable vehicles in its age bracket. The good news is that dangerous defects are absent (0%), so when failures do occur, they're typically manageable rather than safety-critical.
With a median mileage of 204,757 miles for a 19-year-old commercial vehicle, these Canters have been worked hard—and that heavy use shows in the persistent MOT struggles. If you're considering one, budget for immediate and ongoing repairs, and have a pre-purchase inspection carried out by a diesel specialist familiar with commercial vans; the near-zero first-time pass rate means even recently serviced examples often fail on multiple issues.
We have 132 2005 Mitsubishi Canter 75 7c14 vehicles on record but don't have enough MOT test data to show reliable statistics for this cohort.
What to check before buying a 2005 Mitsubishi Canter 75 7c14
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
