2016 MITSUBISHI SHOGUN3.2L DIESEL

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent MOT data. The latest test conducted in September 2025 at 89,467 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, indicating that the vehicle currently meets the minimum safety standards. While a failure occurred briefly in September 2024, the immediate rectification and subsequent clean pass suggest that the owner addresses mechanical issues promptly rather than allowing faults to accumulate into a trend of neglect. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 9,000 miles per year. Between August 2022 and September 2025, the vehicle covered 36,335 miles, showing a steady increase in use. The most significant interval saw 16,564 miles covered between the August 2024 test and the September 2025 test. This consistent accumulation suggests the vehicle is used regularly, which is generally beneficial for preventing seals from drying out or components from seizing due to long periods of inactivity. Given the lack of recorded advisories in the recent history, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and the condition of the components that frequently fail on this model. The Mitsubishi Shogun of this era is prone to corrosion on the rear sills and wheel arches, which the MOT tester may not flag until it becomes significant. The buyer should also inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of wear, as these components often degrade around the 90,000-mile mark despite a clean MOT record.
