1998 Mitsubishi Shogun 2.8L Diesel · 702 TFC

The vehicle’s most recent MOT, conducted on 2025-10-17 at 178,252 miles, recorded a pass with no defects. Subsequent tests from 2021 to 2024 also showed consistent passes, indicating a stable maintenance trend. No structural corrosion, brake system faults, or suspension issues were flagged across the six-year record. The absence of advisories or failures suggests the previous owner prioritized basic upkeep, though the lack of recent inspection data (the last test predates the current date by 9 months) warrants caution. Mileage progression shows steady annual increases, aligning with the vehicle’s 28-year age and average 6,366 miles per year. Tests spaced approximately 12 months apart reveal no abrupt mileage spikes or extended inactivity periods. The 178,252-mile reading reflects a typical usage pattern for a vehicle of this era, with no evidence of excessive wear on consumables like tyres or wiper blades. The clean MOT history implies no recurring mechanical issues, though the long gap since the last test limits insight into current condition. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the exhaust system for rust or leaks, as older vehicles often develop corrosion in this area. Suspension components, including bushes and coil springs, may show wear given the age, even if not flagged in MOT records. Body panels and underbody sections should be checked for hidden rust, particularly around wheel arches and sills. While the MOT data confirms no critical faults, the absence of recent testing means a physical inspection is essential to verify the vehicle’s ongoing roadworthiness.
