2015 Mitsubishi Shogun 3.2L Diesel · AA08 AGA

The Mitsubishi Shogun presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 1 December 2025 at 142,506 miles, with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable on paper, though the surrounding history shows administrative irregularities rather than progressive mechanical decline. The vehicle cleared its final test cleanly after a failed attempt five days earlier at 142,472 miles that also listed no defects, suggesting a documentation or process error at the testing station rather than a genuine fault. At roughly 11 years old, the Shogun carries 142,506 miles, equating to about 12,955 miles per year, which sits high for a 2015 4x4 and points to sustained use rather than occasional leisure driving. Mileage advanced from 105,449 at the October 2023 test to 124,586 by October 2024, then jumped to 142,472 by late November 2025, showing a clear acceleration in annual use over the last year. The record is sparse, with only three pass cycles and two same-day fail anomalies, so no consumable wear or structural corrosion has been formally logged across the timeline. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the high annual mileage and off-road-capable chassis design. The Shogun's ladder-frame structure demands a close check for underbody corrosion and chassis rail integrity, none of which the MOT entries have flagged but which commonly surface on high-mileage examples of this age. The repeated same-day fail and pass entries at 124,586 miles in October 2024 and at 142,472 to 142,506 miles in late November 2025 imply previous owners relied on test-centre correction rather than proactive garage maintenance. Verify the V5C and any service invoices to confirm whether the mileage jumps reflect genuine driving or late-in-life fleet disposal patterns before purchase.
