2003 Mitsubishi Shogun 2.5L Diesel · J195 MRL

The January 2025 MOT at 239,528 miles recorded a failure, yet the test sheet lists no defects, indicating that the vehicle’s maintenance record remains stable with no recurring mechanical faults evident in the two most recent examinations. Mileage has risen from 231,165 miles in the November 2023 test to 239,528 miles in the January 2025 test, an increase of 8,363 miles over roughly 16 months, or about 6,270 miles per year, which is lower than the average 10,414 miles per year for a 23‑year‑old Shogun and suggests the vehicle has spent considerable time idle or used lightly. A buyer should therefore inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for excessive play, verify that the rear brake calipers are not binding and that the discs show no deep scoring, and check the chassis and wheel‑arch areas for any structural rust or corrosion that could compromise integrity; additionally, a close look at tyre tread depth, wiper blade condition and fluid levels will confirm that consumable wear remains within acceptable limits.
