MITSUBISHI SHOGUN1998 · 2.8L DIESEL

The roadworthiness of this vehicle is currently indeterminate due to a complete lack of testing data for the past eleven years. The last recorded test in June 2015 at 186,208 miles shows a vehicle that was beginning to exhibit structural and mechanical decline. While the vehicle passed that final inspection, the presence of slight corrosion across multiple rear structural and inner body points suggests the aging process was well underway. The absence of any records since 2015 means the current state of these critical areas is entirely unknown. The vehicle has covered 186,208 miles over 28 years, averaging approximately 6,650 miles per annum. This usage is consistent with an older 4x4 vehicle, but the mileage history reveals a significant gap in activity. Between June 2014 and June 2015, the car covered roughly 9,000 miles. The subsequent eleven-year silence in the records suggests the vehicle may have sat stationary for long periods, which often leads to the degradation of rubber components, seized calipers, and accelerated internal corrosion regardless of low recorded mileage. A buyer must focus heavily on the structural integrity of the chassis and sills. The 2015 report flagged slight corrosion on the nearside and offside rear structures and inner bodies, following a 2013 failure for excessive corrosion on a suspension component mounting area. These indicators suggest a trend of rust that likely has progressed into significant structural failure over the last decade. The suspension also requires a thorough check, as the worn anti-roll bar linkage and thin brake pads noted in the 2015 entries indicate that mechanical components were reaching the end of their service life before the vehicle stopped being tested.
