The Mitsubishi Delica has an average MOT pass rate of 66.1%, which is 16.1 percentage points below the Mitsubishi brand average of 82.2%. This is a reasonable result that reflects typical UK reliability standards. Regular servicing and addressing advisories promptly will help keep your Delica on the road.
The most common reasons a Mitsubishi Delica fails its MOT are steering linkage retaining or locking device missing or ineffective, the strength or continuity of the load bearing structure within 30cm of any sub-frame, spring or suspension component mounting (a 'prescribed area') is significantly reduced or inadequately repaired, steering rack gaiter or ball joint dust cover missing or no longer prevents the ingress of dirt etc. If you are preparing your Delica for its MOT, checking these areas first could save you a retest fee.
