1993 Mitsubishi Shogun 2.8L Diesel · L584 DKH

The Mitsubishi Shogun passed its most recent MOT on 4 October 2024 at 185,739 miles with no defects recorded, and the maintenance trend across the supplied history reads as stable with no escalating faults. The only blemishes are two administrative failures dated 24 September 2024 and 26 September 2022, both at identical mileages to the subsequent passes and both carrying no recorded defects, which points to paperwork or presentation issues at the test centre rather than mechanical condition. The recorded mileage shows very low annual use for a 33-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 5,628 miles per year. Between the 22 September 2023 test at 183,871 miles and the 28 September 2022 test at 183,163 miles the vehicle covered only 708 miles in a year, and it then added just 1,868 miles by September 2024. Such limited movement over two years suggests long periods of standing, which on a 1993 4x4 raises the risk of perished rubber components, seized brake calipers, and corrosion from inactivity rather than high-use wear. A buyer should physically inspect the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for degradation linked to standing rather than mileage. The tester recorded no advisories on any pass, so there is no documented trend of worsening tyres, exhaust emissions, or structural integrity, but the absence of notes on a vehicle of this age warrants a close look at chassis outriggers and sills for hidden rust. Given the two defect-free failures and clean passes, previous keepers appear to have kept the Shogun lightly used and presented it for test without major outstanding faults. Confirm in person that the drivetrain and transfer box show no oil leaks or binding, as low mileage and storage can mask these until the vehicle is driven regularly.
