MITSUBISHI SHOGUN2018 · 2.4L Diesel

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with an improving maintenance trend regarding suspension components. The most recent MOT test on July 9, 2025 at 57,519 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the recurring issues identified in previous years have been addressed. This represents a shift from a period of noted wear to a clean technical sheet in the latest annual inspection cycle. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 7,200 miles per year. Between the July 2021 test at 24,018 miles and the July 2025 test at 57,519 miles, the vehicle covered 33,501 miles. This steady accumulation suggests regular use rather than long periods of stationary storage, which generally benefits for rubber seals and helps prevent the degradation of braking components often seen in low-mileage neglected vehicles. The history reveals a long-term trend of wear on the rear anti-roll bar linkages. From July 2021 through July 2024, the tester consistently flagged both the nearside and offside rear bushes or pins as worn. While these did not result in failures, the persistence of this advisory over four years indicates the components were reaching the end of life. Since the 2025 test showed no such defects, the buyer should verify these parts were actually replaced during the last year. A prospective buyer should perform a physical inspection of the rear suspension geometry to confirm that the anti-roll bar linkages are now secure. Given the age and mileage of the Shogun, a check for early-stage corrosion on the chassis and exhaust system is also prudent, as these are common failure points for this model. The lack of structural advisories in the record suggests the vehicle has been operated in an environment that has preserved the integrity of the frame.
