2005 Mitsubishi Shogun Sport 2.5L Diesel · AE54 VWH

The Mitsubishi Shogun Sport presents as roadworthy following its most recent test on 19 June 2025 at 192,204 miles, where the tester recorded no defects and issued a pass. The maintenance trend is stable, with the only blemishes being two administrative failures recorded one day apart in both 2024 and 2025 that carried no listed defects. These appear to be retest formalities rather than mechanical rejects, so the underlying condition shows no worsening pattern across the three years of records. At roughly 21 years old the vehicle has covered 192,204 miles, an average of about 9,153 miles per year which is typical for its age. The odometer moved from 179,824 miles at the June 2023 test to 187,587 miles by July 2024, then to 192,204 miles by June 2025, reflecting steady annual use of around 4,500 to 7,700 miles. No gaps or sudden accumulation stand out. The DVSA data itself is sparse and clean, with every pass and fail carrying no advisories or noted component wear. Because the history flags no suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust issues, a buyer should still verify those areas in person given the vehicle's age and mileage. The 2005 chassis is prone to structural rust on sills and subframes, and the Shogun Sport's suspension arms and coil springs warrant a physical check for perishing or fatigue not captured by a defect-free test. The repeated next-day failures in July 2024 at 187,584 miles and June 2025 at 192,189 miles suggest the owner booked the test early then returned for paperwork clearance, not a repair delay. Previous keepers kept the consumables and emissions within limits, but a pre-purchase inspection beneath the body remains sensible on a high-mileage 4x4 of this era.
