2001 MITSUBISHI SHOGUN3.0L Petrol

The 2001 Mitsubishi Shogun holds a valid roadworthy confirmation from the most recent MOT test on 27 April 2024 at 201,724 miles, where the examiner issued a pass with no defects recorded. Across the five tests logged between January 2021 and April 2024, the vehicle demonstrates a stable maintenance trend, with each pass showing a clean sheet and the two failed attempts bearing no listed faults. The repeated fail-pass cycles at identical mileages in January 2021 (185,849 miles) and January 2022 (194,319 then 194,454 miles) suggest administrative or presentation issues rather than escalating mechanical decline. At 25 years old, the recorded 201,724 miles equate to an average of around 8,069 miles annually, a typical usage rate for a vehicle of this age. The chronology exposes a testing interval gap: following the 24 January 2022 pass at 194,454 miles, the next examination did not occur until 27 April 2024 at 201,724 miles, a span of 27 months covering only 7,270 miles. Prior to that, the odometer moved 8,605 miles between the January 2021 tests and the January 2022 tests. The sparse record—five entries in three years, all with zero advisories—implies either conscientious routine care or merely superficial test outcomes. Despite the absence of flagged defects, a buyer must physically verify components that high mileage and age compromise on this model. The tester logged no suspension bushes or coil springs concerns, yet these items warrant hands-on checks for perishing or fracture. Brake discs and calipers should be inspected for binding or uneven wear, as the Shogun's heavy mass accelerates consumable degradation. Structural integrity demands scrutiny: chassis rails, outriggers, and body mounts often suffer corrosion in UK winter conditions, a risk no MOT advisory captured in the supplied data.
