2003 Mitsubishi Shogun 3.5L Petrol · FB52 AKY

The Mitsubishi Shogun passed its most recent MOT on 5 September 2025 at 132,535 miles with no defects recorded, and the maintenance trend across the supplied history reads as stable. The vehicle carries a clean test sheet at every pass. Two failed tests in the record, on 26 August 2025 at 132,520 miles and 27 June 2024 at 132,460 miles, show no defects logged by the tester, which points to administrative or presentation failures rather than mechanical rejection. The recorded mileage sits at 132,535 against a 2003 build, an average of roughly 5,762 miles per year and low for the age. The odometer moved only 1,080 miles between the July 2023 pass at 131,455 and the September 2024 fail at 132,460, then crept up just 75 miles to the September 2025 pass. Such shallow annual use over twenty-three years suggests long standing periods, which commonly allows corrosion, seized suspension bushes, and flat-spotted tyres to develop unseen. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion, as the Shogun's ladder chassis and suspension mounts suffer from moisture ingress during idle storage. The brake discs, calipers, and flexible hoses warrant close checking for binding or internal seizure after the low-mileage dormancy. The absence of advisories across all five tests means the DVSA record gives no warning on exhaust emissions, coil springs, or drivetrain wear. Previous keepers clearly presented the vehicle for minimal annual use with no flagged neglect, yet the two defect-free failures imply loose paperwork or unread fault codes at the bay rather than skipped consumable care.
