2016 Mitsubishi Shogun 3.2L Diesel · 1 JGW

The 2016 Mitsubishi Shogun presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 30 October 2025 at 66,391 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from 2022 to 2024 also passed cleanly. The only blemish is a failed test on 18 October 2022 at 38,762 miles, which the record shows with no defects listed, followed a week later by a pass on 25 October 2022 at 38,778 miles. This suggests an administrative or retest anomaly rather than a mechanical fault, and the subsequent clean history indicates no worsening condition. Annual mileage sits at roughly 6,639 miles against the vehicle's ten-year life, a typical figure for this age of 4x4. The records show steady, low accumulation: 38,778 miles in October 2022, 47,052 in October 2023, 53,122 in October 2024, and 66,391 in October 2025. The jump between the 2024 and 2025 tests of just over 13,000 miles is the largest single-year gain yet remains moderate. No long standing periods or sudden high-use spikes appear in the data, and the clean advisory columns across all passes point to a lightly used vehicle whose previous keepers kept up with basic statutory testing. Given the absence of any recorded advisories on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, coil springs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions, the Shogun shows no recurring wear trends that flag structural or mechanical risk. A buyer should still confirm in person that the chassis and underbody are free of structural rust, as Shoguns of this era are prone to off-road and winter salt attack not always caught in a static test. Check the brake discs and calipers for binding after the low-mileage use, and verify the suspension linkages have no perished bushes despite the clean MOT entries. The DVSA record alone supports a favourable verdict with no outstanding concerns. Physical inspection should focus on confirming the test-free condition holds true beneath the vehicle, particularly around the sills and trailing arms where moisture gathers.
