2016 Mitsubishi Shogun 3.2L Diesel · HU65 ONX

Recurring tyre wear and brake component advisories define the mechanical profile of this Mitsubishi Shogun, despite a clean pass recorded on 14 January 2026. The inspection history shows a pattern of consumable wear, most notably a significant failure in April 2025 due to a dangerous offside front tyre with tread depth at 1.0mm, alongside multiple advisories for tyres worn on the edges. While the most recent test indicates these issues have been addressed, the history of fluctuating brake readings and thinning pads suggests a vehicle that requires regular attention to its braking and tyre management systems. The vehicle has covered 105,268 miles over its ten-year lifespan, representing an average annual accumulation of approximately 10,527 miles. This usage pattern is consistent with typical long-term road use for a vehicle of this age and type. Such steady mileage suggests that components such as suspension bushes, steering linkages, and drivetrain elements have been subjected to regular, predictable wear rather than the potential issues associated with long periods of inactivity or extreme high-speed motorway running. Potential buyers should pay close attention to the braking system during a test drive, given the recorded history of fluctuating service brakes on both the offside front and rear in 2022, as well as repeated advisories regarding thinning pads. Listen for any rhythmic grinding or squealing during deceleration and feel for any pedal judder or pulsation, which could indicate warped discs or binding calipers. The previous advisories regarding tyres being worn on the edges are also a point of interest; during the test drive, check for any uneven tread wear or pulling to one side, which could signal underlying issues with wheel alignment, worn suspension components, or incorrect tyre pressures. Finally, ensure that the windscreen wiper performance is inspected thoroughly, as the vehicle previously failed on the inability of both front wipers to clear the glass effectively. While the recent records show no current defects, the history of tyre-related failures and brake fluctuations necessitates a careful check of the wheel arches and suspension for any signs of excessive play or knocks when navigating uneven surfaces. Any unevenness in tyre wear should be cross-referenced with the steering response to ensure the vehicle tracks straight under braking and acceleration.
