2017 Mitsubishi Shogun 3.2L Diesel · SY67 CHJ

The 2017 Mitsubishi Shogun presented here has achieved five consecutive MOT passes without a single advisory or defect recorded across the entire available history. The most recent examination on 2 February 2026 at 81,585 miles represents a clean bill of health, with no items requiring immediate attention. This pattern of unblemished test results over four years indicates a vehicle whose roadworthiness has remained consistently stable, with no emerging mechanical or structural concerns flagged by independent testers. The maintenance trend is clearly positive and shows no signs of deterioration. The recorded mileage of 81,585 miles at approximately nine years of age translates to roughly 9,065 miles per year, which aligns closely with typical UK annual usage for a vehicle of this type and age. The MOT entries are spaced at roughly annual intervals with no significant gaps, and the mileage progression between tests has been steady and measured, ranging from approximately 9,800 to 12,000 miles between each examination. This consistent usage pattern suggests the Shogun has been used regularly rather than standing idle for extended periods, and the gradual mileage accumulation has not placed undue stress on components. No rapid jumps in recorded mileage that might suggest clocking are evident. Despite the reassuring MOT record, a buyer should still conduct thorough physical inspections of areas not fully assessed by the standard MOT test. The Shogun's heavy kerbweight and off-road capability mean the suspension components, including shock absorbers, coil springs, and suspension bushes, warrant close examination for wear or leakage. Brake performance and condition should be verified, paying particular attention to the callipers and handbrake mechanism, as the MOT does not evaluate braking efficiency under load. Body structural integrity, particularly in the sills, chassis rails, and floor pan areas prone to corrosion on this model, should be inspected visually. Additionally, the transfer case, differential seals, and transmission for any signs of fluid loss or unusual noise would be prudent given the vehicle's four-wheel-drive system. The February 2026 MOT is sufficiently recent that no urgent re-examination is required, but a pre-purchase inspection covering these areas would provide additional assurance regarding the Shogun's overall condition.
