1991 MITSUBISHI SHOGUN2.5L DIESEL

The 1991 Mitsubishi Shogun has a limited MOT history, with two entries recorded in March 2006, just nine days apart. The first test on 2006-03-14 resulted in a failure at 155,584 miles, while the subsequent test on 2006-03-23 achieved a pass at 155,743 miles. The vehicle’s recorded mileage of 155,743 miles as of 2006 suggests it was exceptionally low for its age (35 years old in 2026), averaging around 4,450 miles annually. This low mileage could indicate light use or prolonged periods of inactivity, which may contribute to issues like corrosion, dry rot, or component degradation. The failure in March 2006 highlighted significant concerns: a major exhaust leak , parking brake inefficiency , headlamp aim issues , and brake caliper leakage . These problems suggest potential safety risks, particularly with braking performance and visibility. The pass in March 2006 listed minor defects, including shock absorber damping issues , corroded brake pipes , tyre wear near legal limits , and oil leaks . While these were categorized as non-failure issues, they indicate ongoing wear in critical systems. The pattern of recurring issues —exhaust leaks, brake component wear, and tyre condition—suggests the vehicle may have persistent mechanical vulnerabilities. However, the short timeframe between the two MOTs (nine days) and the lack of later records make it difficult to assess whether the condition improved, worsened, or remained stable.
