2005 Mitsubishi Shogun Sport 2.5L Diesel · WD54 AHL

The Mitsubishi Shogun Sport presents a stable roadworthiness trend with no active defects. The most recent test on 7 September 2022 at 112,595 miles returned a pass with no advisories, and the three preceding successful tests in 2018, 2020 and 2021 likewise recorded clean sheets. The maintenance record shows no worsening mechanical faults across the observed period. The odometer sat at 103,113 miles for the August 2018 test, then rose only to 112,595 by September 2022, an average of roughly 2,370 miles per year against a 21-year life total of 112,595. This low annual use suggests extended standing periods. A two-day gap between the 8 September 2020 failure and the 10 September 2020 pass at 104,041 and 104,042 miles is the only anomaly; the failure carried no recorded defects, implying an administrative or presentational rejection rather than a mechanical fault. The sparse and clean MOT history offers no flagged wear on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or structural corrosion. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of underside structural integrity and brake caliper condition, as a vehicle of this age and low use can conceal hidden rust or seized components not captured in a pass-only record. Given the 2022 test is now nearly four years old relative to today's date, the vehicle requires a fresh MOT before sale. Previous keepers appear to have maintained basic test compliance, though the long dormancy between tests warrants verification that fluids, tyres, and perishables have not degraded through lack of use.
