2008 MITSUBISHI SHOGUN 4WORK DI-D SWBDiesel

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-08-08 at 143,416 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable roadworthiness status. Previous tests from 2024-08-09 (140,408 miles) and 2023-07-11 (135,528 miles) also passed without issues, suggesting consistent maintenance. However, a failure on 2024-07-24 at 140,322 miles—though no defects were listed—raises a minor anomaly. The absence of recorded faults in subsequent tests implies the issue was likely resolved, but the lack of detail limits definitive conclusions. Overall, the trend shows stability in the last 18 months. Mileage progression aligns with typical usage for an 18-year-old vehicle, averaging 7,968 miles annually. The 2024-07-24 failure occurred just 86 miles before the next test, which passed, suggesting no significant mechanical decline. No gaps in testing exceed 12 months, and the record remains largely clean, with no recurring issues. This pattern implies the vehicle has been maintained to meet legal standards, though the single failure without explanation warrants cautious scrutiny. A buyer should inspect the suspension components, particularly bushes and coil springs, for wear given the age and mileage. Brake systems, including calipers and discs, should be checked for corrosion or uneven wear, as these are common in older diesel vehicles. The exhaust system and structural integrity—especially around the chassis and body panels—require close examination, as hidden rust or fatigue could affect long-term reliability. The MOT history provides no direct evidence of these issues, but their prevalence in similar models justifies proactive inspection.
