1992 MITSUBISHI SHOGUN3.0L PETROL

The vehicle's overall roadworthiness status is currently failing, as evidenced by the two distinct MOT failures recorded in 2018 and 2017, with the most recent failure occurring on 2018-10-11 at 62,608 miles. This pattern indicates a lack of consistent maintenance, as the first failure was observed in September 2023 at 52,000 miles, which is significantly older than the current test date of 2026-06-18. The maintenance trend is therefore deteriorating, with the vehicle showing signs of progressive structural degradation rather than stable upkeep. The mileage accumulation is notably high relative to the vehicle's age of 34 years, creating a gap between the last recorded test and the current inspection. The 2017-10-18 test at 62,213 miles was the only passing test, and the subsequent failures in 2016 and 2018 suggest that the vehicle has not undergone adequate servicing since the 2016 test. The rapid mileage increase between the 2016 and 2017 tests, followed by a significant drop-off in performance in 2018, indicates that the vehicle has been driven for approximately 8,500 miles since the 2016 test, leaving substantial wear on consumables and components. Based on the recurring faults, a buyer should inspect the vehicle for structural integrity and corrosion in critical areas. The most severe issues are the severe rust on the chassis and the corrosion of suspension springs and fuel lines, which are prone to failure under load. The brake pipe corrosion in 2017 and the severe rust on the rear suspension in 2016 suggest that the braking system is compromised. The wheel arches and inner vehicle structures have been corroded to the extent that rigidity is significantly reduced, indicating that the wheel bearings and inner chassis components may be prone to further failure if not addressed. The lack of a passing test in 2018 and the presence of severe corrosion in the brake pipe and fuel lines in 2016 further confirm that the vehicle has not been adequately maintained since the 2016 test, leaving significant risks of sudden failure.
