2005 Mitsubishi Shogun 2.8L Diesel · N693 JCR

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 6 March 2026 at 213,779 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the history reveals a consistent pattern of immediate failure exactly one day prior to successful passes. In both 2025 and 2026, the vehicle failed the initial test but passed upon re-test twenty-four hours later. This suggests the owner prioritizes reactive maintenance, addressing faults only specifically to pass the annual inspection rather than following a preventative service schedule. At 21 years old, the 213,779 miles recorded on this Shogun average approximately 10,180 miles per year, which aligns with typical annual usage for a large SUV of this age. The mileage accumulation is consistent across the records, with roughly 7,700 miles driven between March 2024 and March 2025, and another 7,275 miles between March 2025 and March 2026. This regular use reduces the likelihood of mechanical components seizing due to long periods of standing. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the structural integrity, particularly the chassis rails and mounting points, where corrosion is prone to develop on older models. While the MOT record shows no recorded defects on the passing tests, the high mileage demands a check of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers for excessive wear. Examine the brakes for binding or uneven wear on the discs, as the recurring re-test failures indicate that mechanical issues are frequently present just before the test date.
