Mitsubishi Delica (2007)
2007 Mitsubishi Delica
CarHunch analysed 118 real MOT records for the 2007 Mitsubishi Delica. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2007 Mitsubishi Delica passes its MOT on the first attempt 83.8% of the time, slightly above the UK average of 80%, suggesting decent baseline reliability for a vehicle of this age. However, 16.1% have experienced dangerous defects at some point, which is a meaningful concern—not alarming, but worth factoring into your decision.
These Delicas average 112,161 miles, which is reasonable for a 17-year-old vehicle, and typically rack up 1.41 failures and 8.5 advisories per test, pointing to gradual wear rather than sudden structural problems. Before buying, get a full pre-purchase inspection focused on suspension and braking systems, since the advisory count suggests these are where issues tend to cluster.
What to check before buying a 2007 Mitsubishi Delica
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.
