2006 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
59% pass first time (all 2006 cars: 56%)
Nothing stands out above the usual rate
109 MOTsSee the petrol guide ›
