Where a specific Mitsubishi FB16NT lands in its band
Records add 10–15% — a documented service file beats a mystery meter every time. Hours beat age: a low-hour older unit routinely outsells a hard-run newer one. And on this electric, THE BATTERY IS THE PRICE: a tired pack hides a $3,000–$6,000 replacement inside an otherwise fair ask — run the battery interview from the 12-point inspection checklist and the battery guide. Tires, fork heels, and mast condition move the last few percent — price every finding into the offer.
What the Mitsubishi FB16NT holds — by the numbers
New, a Mitsubishi FB16NT lists around $34,000. A 2022-2024 unit under 3,000 hours asks roughly 71% of that. By 2018-2021 with mid-range hours it sits near 45%, and a pre-2014 truck past 10,000 hours lands around 15%. That is the whole depreciation curve for this platform in three numbers, and it is where the buying leverage lives.
Split the two forces apart and they behave differently on this machine. Holding the year at 2018-2021 and moving from under 3,000 hours to over 10,000 costs about 40% of value. Holding hours low and moving back from 2022-2024 to 2014-2017 costs about 48%. On the Mitsubishi FB16NT, age moves the number more than hours — a recent high-hour unit often beats an older lightly-used one.
Where the Mitsubishi FB16NT sits against comparable trucks
At 3,500 lb, new prices across the platforms we track run from $34,000 (Mitsubishi FB16NT) to $34,000 (Mitsubishi FB16NT). The Mitsubishi FB16NT enters at $34,000, which places it at the value end of the class. Used, that spread compresses — which is the argument for buying a better badge second-hand rather than a cheaper one new.
Buying a Mitsubishi: what the badge tells you
On any electric, the battery is a second asset with its own value curve. A pack at end of life is a $3,000-$6,000 line item hiding inside an otherwise fair asking price — always get a capacity test result in writing, not a verbal assurance.
What a electric 3-wheel does to the resale math
What moves a Mitsubishi FB16NT inside its band
The table gives a range, not a price. On a electric 3-wheel the spread between the low and high figure in any cell is roughly 28%, and that gap is decided by things you can see in person: battery age and capacity test results above all, then charger condition, mast wear, and whether the truck has been opportunity-charged its whole life. Documented maintenance moves a truck to the top of its band faster than low hours do.
