2006 Mitsubishi Canter 75 7c14

CarHunch analysed 321 real MOT records for the 2006 Mitsubishi Canter 75 7c14. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

This 2006 Mitsubishi Canter 75 matches the UK average with an 80% first-time pass rate, and no vehicles in this cohort have ever recorded a dangerous defect—a genuinely clean safety record. The absence of advisories (0.0 per vehicle) is unusual and suggests these work trucks are either maintained very consistently or inspected in straightforward condition.

With a median mileage of 121,776 miles at 18 years old, these are high-use commercial vehicles, yet they're failing MOT only 0.03 times per vehicle on average, which is remarkably low. If you're buying one, get a full service history and mechanical inspection to confirm maintenance records have been kept—these trucks reward proper upkeep, but verifying it matters more than the statistics alone.

What to check before buying a 2006 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.
