2021 Mitsubishi Shogun 2.4L Diesel · AE70 AVV

The Mitsubishi Shogun presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent DVSA test on 29 January 2026 at 51,727 miles returning a clean pass with no defects recorded. Three consecutive annual examinations between 2024 and 2026 each produced a pass with no advisories, indicating the vehicle has not entered any pattern of recurring mechanical or structural fault. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 10,345 miles per year. The records show 35,682 miles at the 11 January 2024 test, rising to 43,422 miles by 11 February 2025 and 51,727 miles by 29 January 2026. Annual use held close to 8,000 and 8,300 miles in the two measured intervals, with no sudden accumulation or unexplained gaps. The sparse but clean history offers no evidence of neglected consumables or deferred rectification. A buyer should still commission an independent physical inspection despite the unblemished record. The Shogun's body-on-frame chassis demands scrutiny for structural corrosion at outriggers, sills, and suspension mounting points, as MOT testers may not record surface rust unless it breaches integrity. Drivetrain components including prop shaft joints, differential seals, and the selectable four-wheel-drive transfer box warrant checks for leaks or wear unseen in a static test. Suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs should be measured for fatigue given the vehicle's off-road design bias. Tyres and wiper blades remain consumable items the record does not flag, yet verify tread depth and rubber condition before purchase. The absence of advisories across three tests implies prior owners maintained the vehicle to test standard, though a pre-sale inspection remains prudent.
