Fuel economy is from Japan’s official tests and is usually better than you’ll see on UK roads. MLIT doesn’t list power or torque.

ABF-SKE6VM

Listed 2009–2010. The ABF prefix (our explanation, not MLIT’s) means petrol goods vehicle or bus certified to Japan’s 2005 emissions rules. Check ABF-SKE6VM against ULEZ and clean air zones.

Each row is one version as MLIT lists it. A version can appear twice when MLIT gave figures on two tests that year. Low-emission stars and trim names aren’t shown. MLIT gives fuel economy in km/L; the mpg figures are our conversion to UK gallons. Japanese tests are gentler than real UK driving, so expect less.

Check an SKE6VM before you buy

Make sure the car is what the advert says: the chassis number on the V5C should start SKE6VM-, and the engine and gearbox should match one of the versions above. Our free check reads the UK MOT history and compares it with the chassis code.

What engine does the SKE6VM have?

MLIT lists the Mitsubishi Delica SKE6VM with FE 1,998 cc petrol.

What fuel economy does the SKE6VM get?

Officially between 8.8 and 9.6 km/L (about 25–27 mpg), depending on the version, on Japan’s own tests. Real-world figures are usually lower, especially against the older 10-15 mode test.

How heavy is the SKE6VM?

Between 1,460 and 1,560 kg kerb weight, depending on the version.

Is ABF-SKE6VM the same as SKE6VM?

Yes. ABF-SKE6VM is the full model type: the letters before the hyphen are Japan’s emissions code, which changed as the rules were tightened, and SKE6VM is the model code. The chassis number starts with SKE6VM-.

About these figures

The model types, engine codes, capacities, gearboxes, drive, weights, seats and km/L figures are copied from MLIT’s yearly lists of cars on sale in Japan each March, so “listed” years are list years, not exact production dates. The English model names, mpg conversions, emissions code explanations and chassis number matching are ours. Lists before 2013 were printed as PDFs that we read by machine; where an older list gives an engine code that doesn’t match its capacity, we’ve used the figure the same model type has in other years. Check anything that matters against the car’s own papers. Spotted a mistake? Email [email protected]. All Mitsubishi model codes.
