1991 Mitsubishi Shogun 2.5L Diesel · J207 CAO

The Mitsubishi Shogun presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, based on the most recent test on 31 July 2023 at 231,877 miles where the tester recorded no defects and a pass. The two prior annual tests, on 27 July 2022 at 230,598 miles and 31 July 2021 at 229,264 miles, also returned passes with no advisories. Across the three-year window the vehicle cleared every examination without flagged corrosion, suspension wear, brake defects, or exhaust issues. The recorded mileage shows light, consistent use for a 35-year-old 4x4. Between July 2021 and July 2023 the odometer advanced just 2,613 miles, an average of roughly 1,300 miles per year and well below the lifetime average of 6,625. No gaps appear in the supplied history, though only three tests are provided. The clean sheets across low annual mileage suggest the previous keeper used the Shogun sparingly and kept basic upkeep current rather than deferring consumable replacement. A buyer should still inspect structural integrity in person given the age. The MOT record notes no corrosion, yet a 1991 chassis can hide rust in sills, chassis rails, and suspension mounting points that a summer test may miss. Check suspension bushes, coil springs, and steering joints for perishing from long standing periods. Verify brake discs and calipers for binding after low-mileage storage, and confirm the exhaust emissions remain within limits on a cold start. The absence of advisories is reassuring, but physical inspection of drivetrain oils and underbody condition remains prudent before purchase.
