MITSUBISHI SHOGUN2008 · 3.2L Diesel

The Mitsubishi Shogun presents a stable and favourable roadworthiness profile based on its most recent MOT test. In the December 2021 examination at 114,873 miles the vehicle passed with no defects recorded, and this clean result continues an unbroken five-year pass sequence from 2017 through 2021. The maintenance trend is steady with no worsening faults, advisories, or repeated failures appearing in the official record. Annual mileage sits close to typical expectations for an eighteen-year-old 4x4. The November 2017 test at 85,099 miles and the December 2021 test at 114,873 miles show roughly 29,774 miles added over four years, an average near 7,440 per year. The longest single gap, between November 2018 at 94,574 miles and December 2019 at 102,751 miles, added only 8,177 miles. No rapid accumulation or unexplained standing periods emerge from the data, and the sparse clean sheets suggest routine statutory testing rather than intensive correction work. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of age-related wear points common to the Shogun chassis. The MOT record flags no corrosion, suspension bush fatigue, or brake binding, yet eighteen years invites covert structural rust on outriggers and chassis rails unseen by the tester. Examine coil springs, steering joints, and brake disc thickness for consumable degradation the annual test did not capture. Given the absent advisory history, previous keepers likely maintained basic upkeep to pass standard checks. Verify service receipts to confirm drivetrain and differential oils were changed, as the Shogun's longevity depends on such care beyond MOT scope.
