2006 Mitsubishi Shogun 3.2L Diesel · AF06 PUE

The Mitsubishi Shogun passed its most recent MOT on 23 April 2024 at 207,537 miles with no defects recorded, indicating a currently roadworthy status. The maintenance trend appears stable across the available history, with three passes and a single failure that carried no listed defects. That failure on 18 April 2024 at 207,261 miles was rectified within five days, suggesting an administrative or unrecorded minor issue rather than a mechanical breakdown. At roughly 20 years old the vehicle shows 207,537 miles, equating to about 10,377 miles per year which is typical for a Shogun of this age. The records reveal an unusual mileage pattern: between the 10 May 2022 test at 195,559 miles and the 6 May 2023 test at 195,577 miles the vehicle covered only 18 miles in a full year. It then gained 11,960 miles by April 2024. Such a dormant period followed by regular use often precedes perished rubber components and seized mechanisms. The sparse record shows no advisories across any test, which limits insight into wear but also implies no flagged corrosion or brake concerns at the time of testing. A buyer should still inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs in person, as a long static spell in 2022 to 2023 can crack rubber mounts and weaken spring seats even where the tester logged nothing. The brake discs and calipers warrant a physical check for binding after the prolonged low-use phase, despite no MOT advisory. Structural integrity underneath the chassis should be examined for rust, particularly around subframes and sills, given the vehicle's age and the salt-exposed lifecycle typical of a 2006 4x4. The clean MOT slate gives reasonable assurance of legal roadworthiness, but the mileage gap means consumables like tyres and wiper blades may have aged rather than worn.
