Before Diamond Class cars reach a Mitsubishi Motors dealership, every vehicle is carefully examined by a dedicated inspection team.
Paint, panel, tyres, mechanicals, electricals - every part of the car is worked over to ensure it meets the standard.
The 100 point inspection certificate is signed by the technician responsible and only then is it awarded a Diamond Class badge.
