1995 Mitsubishi Shogun 3.0L Petrol · M177 NAC

The Mitsubishi Shogun presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on its most recent MOT on 14 July 2025 at 125,100 miles, where the tester recorded a pass with no defects. Prior tests on 3 July 2024 at 124,821 miles, 20 July 2023 at 123,004 miles, and 20 July 2022 at 119,958 miles all returned passes with no advisories. The only anomaly appears on 20 July 2022, when a fail at 119,957 miles preceded the same-day pass at 119,958 miles, yet the record cites no defects for either outcome. The maintenance trend is therefore stable, with no worsening mechanical flags across the five-year span. Mileage accumulation reflects light use for a 31-year-old vehicle. The odometer advanced from 119,958 miles in July 2022 to 123,004 miles by July 2023, a 3,046-mile increment. The following year added 1,817 miles to 124,821, and the latest test shows merely 279 miles covered in the subsequent twelve months. This tapering pattern, averaging 4,035 miles annually overall, suggests prolonged stationary periods, particularly in the last year. The sparse, clean MOT history offers little evidence of heavy drivetrain stress but warrants scrutiny for deterioration linked to inactivity. A buyer should commission a physical inspection of structural and mechanical components that MOT advisories would normally highlight but are absent here. On a 1995 Shogun, chassis corrosion, suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc condition demand close examination, especially given low mileage and likely storage. The tester logged no binding calipers or exhaust emissions faults, yet rubber perishables and surface rust can develop unseen. The July 2022 same-day fail and pass with no recorded defect should prompt a check of the DVSA test certificate for any non-mechanical reason. Given the age, verify underside integrity and brake function before purchase.
