2005 MITSUBISHI SHOGUN SPORT2.5L Diesel

This vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 26 March 2026 at 119,749 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes over the last three years, suggesting the vehicle is being kept in a mechanically sound condition. The mileage is notably low for a twenty-one year old vehicle, averaging roughly 5,702 miles per year. Between 26 March 2024 and 26 March 2026, the odometer rose from 109,353 to 119,749 miles, indicating a steady usage pattern of approximately 5,200 miles annually. There are no erratic jumps in mileage that would suggest undisclosed commercial use or long periods of stagnation. The MOT history is unusually clean for a 4x4 of this vintage. The records show failures on 26 March 2024 and 20 March 2025, yet no specific defects were logged in the data provided. This often suggests minor administrative issues or quick-fix consumables that were rectified immediately. The absence of recurring advisories regarding suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake discs is positive. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on structural corrosion, as the MOT record does not explicitly detail the state of the chassis or sills. While the tests are clean, older Shoguns are prone to rust in the underbody and wheel arches which may not always trigger a failure unless the integrity is compromised. Checking for binding calipers and the condition of the four-wheel-drive system is advised to ensure the low mileage has not led to seized components.
