2016 Mitsubishi Shogun 3.2L Diesel · BFZ 4000

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend indicates a shift toward developing mechanical wear in its later years. The most recent test in March 2026 at 89,912 miles identified slight play in the offside rear anti-roll bar linkage ball joint alongside windscreen damage. This follows a clean result in 2025, suggesting that while the vehicle was previously maintained, suspension components are now beginning to show signs of fatigue consistent with its age and mileage. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,000 miles per year. Between March 2022 and March 2026, the vehicle covered 37,775 miles, which represents a steady rate of use. However, the 2024 test at 71,166 miles revealed a significant lapse in consumable maintenance with all four tyres showing uneven inner-edge wear. This suggests a potential alignment issue or worn suspension bushings that was not immediately addressed during that specific interval. A buyer should prioritize a thorough inspection of the suspension geometry and alignment during an in person visit. The 2024 record of all four tyres being worn close to the legal limit and specifically on the inner edges indicates a need to check ball joints, tie rods, and bushes for play. The recent flagging of the anti-roll bar linkage in the 2026 test confirms that the front and rear suspension requires proactive attention to prevent further degradation. Additionally, the thin rear brake pads noted in early 2024 should be verified to ensure they were actually replaced, as no follow-up was mentioned in the subsequent tests.
