If you own or are considering buying a 2013 Mitsubishi Delica, budget for potential repairs before each MOT. Before your MOT, pay particular attention to identification of the vehicle: Ensure the VIN plate is visible and legible (usually in the windscreen or under the bonnet).

Identification of the vehicle — 4.5% of failures
Identification of the vehicle issues account for 4.5% of MOT failures on 2013 Mitsubishi Delica models. Identification failures relate to the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and registration plate. The VIN must be permanently displayed and legible, and the registration plate must meet British Standard formatting. Typical repair costs: £10–50. Pre-MOT check: Ensure the VIN plate is visible and legible (usually in the windscreen or under the bonnet). Check that number plates are clean, undamaged, and use the correct font and spacing.
Visibility — 4.5% of failures
Visibility issues account for 4.5% of MOT failures on 2013 Mitsubishi Delica models. Visibility failures relate to the windscreen, wipers, washers, mirrors, and view-obstructing damage. Cracks in the windscreen swept area, ineffective wipers, or empty washer bottles are common causes. Typical repair costs: £10–300. Pre-MOT check: Check the windscreen for chips and cracks — damage larger than 10mm in the driver's swept area or 40mm elsewhere will fail. Test washers and wipers. Ensure both door mirrors are intact and adjustable.
Brakes — 4.5% of failures
Brakes issues account for 4.5% of MOT failures on 2013 Mitsubishi Delica models. Brake-related failures include worn brake pads, corroded brake discs, leaking brake lines, and faulty brake servos. These are safety-critical components — any brake deficiency will result in an MOT fail. Typical repair costs: £150–400. Pre-MOT check: Listen for squealing or grinding noises. Check brake pedal feel — if it feels spongy or goes to the floor, have the system inspected immediately. Look at brake pad thickness through the wheel spokes (minimum 3mm).
