1996 Mitsubishi Minicab: the background

Mitsubishi ended in-house Minicab production in 2014; the truck that replaced it is a rebadged Suzuki, so every Mitsubishi-built Minicab is now a closed population. Minicabs sold into Japanese agriculture and light construction, and the factory list reflects it: a dedicated "Minori" farm specification, low-range transfer options and heavy-duty dump beds. The U42T code marks this 1996 Minicab as a fifth-generation Minicab, built from 1991 to 1999. This one is recorded in White, though the Minicab's natural habitat is a Japanese trade fleet in plain white.

Odometer and specification — Minicab

The White bodywork sits over an odometer reading of 23,121 mi, with a condition of used recorded. Interior colour is recorded as Grey cloth.

Import and ownership — 1996 Mitsubishi Minicab

Plenty of buyers keep a Minicab looking exactly as it arrived; this one is White and presented as we received it. A 1996 build date puts this one well past the 25-year federal import threshold. It is listed at $4,906. Japan's kei category exists because small vehicles are taxed and registered differently there, and the Minicab was built specifically to qualify. In Japan a 1996 Minicab would have belonged to a shopkeeper, a small workshop or a farm, which is the sort of use it was engineered around.
