2015 MITSUBISHI SHOGUN3.2L Diesel

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a successful MOT on April 2, 2026, 88,659 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, although the history shows a pattern of immediate failures followed by successful passes. The vehicle failed in both March 2025 and March 2026, yet rectified the issues within days. This suggests that the previous owners are reactive rather than proactive, addressing faults only when mandated by the tester rather than performing preventative maintenance to avoid minor mechanical neglect. At a recorded 88,659 miles, the Shogun has averaged approximately 8,060 miles per year over its eleven-year life. This aligns with typical usage for a large SUV. The data shows consistent movement, with 7,267 miles covered between the March 2024 and 2025 tests, and another 6,230 miles covered between March 2025 and April 2026. This steady accumulation indicates the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of standing, which is often beneficial for keeping rubber seals and brake components in good working condition. While the most recent test recorded no defects or advisories, the recurring failures in previous years necessitate a close physical inspection of consumables. A buyer should specifically check the suspension bushes and coil springs for perish wear, as these are common points of failure on this model. Given the age of the vehicle, a thorough check for structural corrosion on the sills and underbody chassis members is essential. Testing the brake system for binding calipers or uneven wear will also ensure that the recent pass was not masking underlying mechanical issues.
