2005 Mitsubishi Shogun 3.2L Diesel · WV55 AAZ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, following a clean pass in its most recent inspection on April 30, 2025, 120,753 miles. This result indicates that the Shogun currently meets all safety and environmental standards without recorded defects. While the history shows failures in early 2023 and 2024, the immediate passes following those tests suggest the owner has been proactive in rectifying specific mechanical faults identified by the tester. At 21 years old, the recorded mileage of 120,753 miles is notably low, averaging approximately 5,750 miles per year. The data shows a consistent pattern of use recently, with roughly 10,000 miles covered between January 2023 and January 2024, and another 10,000 miles between January 2024 and April 2025. This low annual mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, though it increases the likelihood of age-related component degradation, such as rubber perish and seals drying during periods of inactivity. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and suspension mounts, as older 4x4 vehicles are prone to hidden corrosion that MOT tests only partially uncover. Despite the recent clean record, a close look at the control arm bushes, coil springs, and brake lines is necessary, as low-mileage usage often masks the hardening of rubber components through age-based fatigue. Because the record does not list the specific reasons for the previous failures, verifying the condition of the braking system and exhaust system is essential to ensure those past issues were fully resolved rather than merely patched.
