2015 Mitsubishi Shogun 3.2L Diesel · YD15 AFE

The June 2025 test at 76,448 miles returned a pass, yet the advisory list reveals a vehicle managing ongoing wear rather than resolving it. The tester flagged slight play in the offside front track rod end ball joint, rear brake pads wearing thin, a windscreen chip and missing rear passenger seats. This contrasts sharply with the clean April 2024 test at 70,918 miles and signals a return to the neglect pattern seen in the October 2022 failure at 61,331 miles, where both axles suffered pads below 1.5 mm and discs pitted and scored. Mileage accumulates at a steady 6,950 miles per year, consistent with private use rather than heavy commercial duty. The jump from 61,331 miles in late 2022 to 70,918 miles by April 2024 covers roughly 9,600 miles in seventeen months, a normal rate. The most recent interval added only 5,500 miles in fourteen months, suggesting lighter recent use or a change in ownership habits. No unexplained gaps or clocking indicators appear in the timeline. A buyer must inspect the braking system thoroughly; discs have been recorded as pitted and scored in 2018 and again in 2022, and rear pads are now wearing low. The offside front track rod end play noted in 2025 joins the 2021 advisory on rear trailing arm front bushes, pointing to suspension bush degradation across the chassis. Verify the headlamp washer jets operate correctly, as both failed in 2022, and confirm the rear seats refit securely if a seven-seat configuration is required. The windscreen chip sits in the driver’s vision zone and will need repair before the next test.
