OEX Starter Motor 12V CCW Mitsubishi Style MXS232

The OEX starter motor listed here is a 12V unit with CCW rotation, a 2.7kW power rating, and a Mitsubishi style mounting pattern. The part number is MXS232, and it is supplied new with a 3 hole starter mount type and a flange diameter of 100mm.

Mount centres are listed at 145mm for A, 112mm for B, and 108mm for C, with an overall length of 230mm and a mount hole diameter of 13mm. The pinion at rest is 49mm, and the unit weight is 5.85kg, so matching physical dimensions is important before ordering.

This starter motor is noted as suitable for Mitsubishi applications and may replace 11th, 12th and 14th units. It may be supplied as a 14th unit, so the note should be checked against the vehicle application and the technical information section in the rotating catalogue before purchase.

Application and Buying Notes

Use the part number MXS232 as the first check, then compare the starter layout against the vehicle’s existing unit. The key physical details here are 12V, CCW rotation, 2.7kW output, 3 hole mounting, a 100mm flange diameter and 230mm overall length.

The note matters: this unit may replace 11th, 12th and 14th units, and it may also be supplied as a 14th unit. That means the replacement should be confirmed against the vehicle’s current starter and the technical information in the rotating catalogue rather than relying on appearance alone.

Mount centres are different across starter families, so the listed measurements of 145mm, 112mm and 108mm should be checked carefully where the old starter is still available. The 13mm mount hole diameter, 49mm pinion at rest and 5.85kg weight are also useful reference points when comparing units.

The listing states Mitsubishi as the unit make, but the fitment references also include Ford Trader and several Mazda truck and bus applications. If the vehicle is one of those listed, the safest approach is to confirm the exact starter number and mounting arrangement already fitted before ordering.

Warranty is listed as 3 years for passenger use and 1 year for commercial use. That is useful for understanding the supply conditions, but it does not replace a proper fitment check against voltage, rotation, mounting style and the replacement note.

Because starter motors can look similar across different applications, the most reliable match is the combination of part number, voltage, rotation, mount centres and the replacement note. If any of those details differ from the removed unit, stop and confirm before fitting.

Before supply, the safest approach is to confirm the original unit details against the listed part number, voltage, output rating, mounting arrangement, and pulley configuration. That checking process is standard practice in the parts trade because visually similar units can still differ in service-critical ways.

For workshop, fleet, and equipment applications, accurate identification of part number MXS232 helps avoid unnecessary freight, additional labour, and vehicle or machine downtime. Where the application is not straightforward, the original unit, OEM reference, or workshop records should be used as the primary confirmation point.

OEX Starter Motor 12V CCW Mitsubishi Style - REFER TO NOTE. Part number MXS232 should be checked first. Listed voltage is 12. These details form the core reference points used by parts interpreters when confirming the correct replacement.

For part number MXS232, the normal identification sequence is part number, electrical rating, mounting arrangement, connector or terminal style, and pulley or drive details. Using those checkpoints helps confirm that the listed unit matches the service requirement rather than only looking similar.

For a starter motor in workshop, fleet, trade, agricultural, or construction service, the listed voltage 12 should be checked carefully. Incorrect selection can affect installation time, return freight, and equipment availability.

Available application references include FORD TRADER, FORD TRADER 1984, FORD TRADER 1985, FORD TRADER 1986, MAZDA E-SERIES, MAZDA E-SERIES 1983. Even with application listings, final confirmation should still be based on the exact unit being replaced and the service requirements of the vehicle or machine.

Compatibility note: Confirm fitment by matching part number MXS232, 12V CCW rotation, 3 hole mount, and the stated dimensions against the vehicle’s existing starter and the technical information for the application before purchase.
