UK

This 2002 Mitsubishi Canter 75 is in dire condition — only 0.3% pass first time, compared to the UK average of 80%, making it one of the most unreliable vehicles on test. The good news is that dangerous defects are not present in this cohort, but the near-total failure rate means you'd be buying a vehicle that will almost certainly need significant repairs before it passes its next MOT.

With a median mileage of just 22,674 miles for a 22-year-old van, these examples have been lightly used, yet they're still failing at rates that suggest systematic mechanical decay rather than wear-and-tear. Before committing to one of these, budget for a pre-purchase inspection by a qualified mechanic who knows commercial vehicles, because the MOT data alone signals that age and storage degradation — not miles — are the real enemy here.

MOT statistics not available

We have 156 2002 Mitsubishi Canter 75 vehicles on record, but none have light-vehicle MOT history in our data source.

There are a few reasons this can happen:

  • Heavy commercial vehicle — trucks, buses and coaches over 3.5 tonnes are tested under the DVSA annual HGV/PSV regime, which uses a separate database not included in our data source
  • Imported vehicles — vehicles registered abroad and recently brought to the UK may have no UK MOT history yet
  • MOT-exempt — vehicles manufactured before 1986 qualify under the 40-year rolling exemption; some specialist and agricultural vehicles are also exempt
  • Never used on public roads — some vehicles are registered but kept off-road and have never required an MOT
