1991 Mitsubishi Shogun 3.0L Petrol · J367 SJH

The Mitsubishi Shogun passed its most recent MOT on 3 July 2025 at 53,436 miles with no defects recorded, placing its roadworthiness status as sound on paper and the maintenance trend as stable given the single clean result. The test sits just over twelve months before today's date of 8 July 2026, so the certificate remains current but will require renewal within weeks. The recorded mileage of 53,436 miles against a 1991 build date equates to roughly 1,527 miles per year, confirming exceptionally light use for a 35-year-old 4x4. The DVSA history supplied contains only the one 2025 entry, so no prior tests, gaps, or rapid accumulation can be assessed from this data. Such low annual coverage typically signals long storage periods rather than daily driving. A buyer should still inspect the Shogun in person for age-related corrosion on chassis rails and outriggers, as structural rust develops on standing vehicles regardless of a clean test. Check suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers for seizure after prolonged inactivity, since the examiner recorded no advisories only days ago and cannot flag latent wear. Verify the condition of tyres, brake discs, and exhaust emissions during a cold start, as 35 years of intermittent use may have hardened rubber and pitted metal unseen at the last test. The absence of faults is reassuring, yet low mileage alone does not certify long-term mechanical health on a vehicle of this vintage.
