2005 Mitsubishi Delica: petrol or diesel?

Petrol, diesel and hybrid versions go wrong in different ways, so each has its own figures from the MOTs these cars had during 2023–2025. Pick the one you’re looking at: the fuel is on the logbook and in the car’s MOT history.

Petrol 60% pass first time (all 2005 cars: 57%) Nothing stands out above the usual rate 179 MOTsSee the petrol guide › Diesel 54% pass first time (all 2005 cars: 57%) Stands out: engine oil leaks 2.7×, rust around suspension or steering mountings 4.2×, rigid brake pipes 1.9× 263 MOTsSee the diesel guide ›

Hybrid versions had too few MOTs for figures of their own, or weren’t sold.
