2004 MITSUBISHI SHOGUN3.2L Diesel

The 2004 Mitsubishi Shogun presents a stable mechanical history with no defects recorded across the supplied DVSA tests, yet the most recent assessment on 8 February 2024 at 139,247 miles shows both a fail and a pass logged on the same date with no faults cited, pointing to a procedural irregularity rather than worsening condition. Prior entries from 24 November 2022 at 136,408 miles and 2 December 2021 at 133,417 miles repeat this same-day fail-pass pattern without advisories. The maintenance trend remains static and free of escalating mechanical concerns. Mileage accumulation aligns with typical use for a 22-year-old vehicle. The odometer moved from 133,417 miles in December 2021 to 136,408 miles in November 2022, a gain of 2,991 miles over eleven months, then to 139,247 miles by February 2024, adding 2,839 miles across fourteen months. This equates to roughly 6,300 miles per year, reflecting gentle annual coverage. The recorded history is sparse, covering only three calendar years, but each test returned a clean sheet with no consumable wear or structural flags noted. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection beneath the chassis given the vehicle's age and the absence of recorded advisories. The tester never flagged corrosion to structural members, degraded suspension bushes, fractured coil springs or binding brake calipers, but two decades of service on a body-on-frame 4x4 invite hidden rust and worn elastomers. Examine brake discs for scoring, assess exhaust emissions against current limits, and verify the integrity of subframe mounts. Previous owners appear to have maintained basic test compliance, though the repeated no-defect failures suggest lax administrative handling at testing stations rather than skipped upkeep. Given the expired status relative to today's date of 16 July 2026, the Shogun requires a fresh MOT before road use. Confirm fluid conditions and tyre sidewall ageing even though the records show no relevant advisories.
