Compare Mitsubishi interim service and MOT quotes from specialist garages

Mitsubishi's automotive division was founded in 1970, but it produced its first vehicle way before that. In 1917, the shipbuilding division created the Model A, intended as a luxury car for officials. It was the first series-production vehicle in Japan and paved the way for the Debonair, a four-door executive sedan introduced in 1964.

A breakthrough happened for the company in 1976 when it developed Silent Shaft engine technology to reduce vibrations. This technology was so successful that it was licensed to other brands, including Porsche and Fiat.

Since then, Mitsubishi has continued to push boundaries. Its 2011 Outlander ad campaign beat no less than five world records, including the greatest distance driven by a vehicle in reverse on snow in 30 seconds.

Booking an MOT and interim service together could save you time and money. Some garages may offer a discount on the usual price of an MOT, and the service will help prevent issues later down the line.

Most manufacturers recommend you book an interim service - sometimes referred to as a minor service - every 6,000 miles. Usually, this involves a check of your car's fluids, engine, battery, tyres and lights. It is less comprehensive than a full service.

During a car interim service and MOT, the MOT test should be completed first, so there is less work to do during the service and no checks are repeated.

When searching for the best MOT and interim service prices, you should also consider the number of checks offered in the service and whether you can get a discount.
