2005 Mitsubishi Shogun 3.2L Diesel · SK54 ADP

The Mitsubishi Shogun presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 2026-02-24 at 129,966 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the four preceding passes between 2021 and 2023 also carried no advisories. The single failure on 2021-09-07 at 100,055 miles was rectified within twenty-four hours, with the vehicle passing on 2021-09-08 at 100,066 miles. No recurring mechanical or structural faults appear across the record. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for a 2005 vehicle, averaging roughly 6,189 miles per year against the 129,966 miles recorded. The gap between the 2023-09-29 test at 118,905 miles and the 2026-02-24 test at 129,966 miles shows only 11,061 miles covered over twenty-nine months, indicating light recent use. The clean sequence of passes and the absence of flagged wear on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, or corrosion suggest the prior keeper kept basic upkeep current rather than deferring consumables. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the vehicle's twenty-one-year age, as MOT passes with no advisories do not certify absence of developing rust on chassis members or sills. The Shogun's permanent four-wheel-drive drivetrain and suspension components warrant a check for worn coil springs, tired dampers, and prop-shaft wear that a visual test may not record as a defect until advanced. The 2021 failure with no listed defect likely related to a documentation or emissions-readiness issue cleared same-day, not a hard mechanical fault. Given the sparse but clean history, verify service records independently and confirm brake disc thickness, handbrake operation, and exhaust condition during a pre-purchase examination.
