2005 Mitsubishi Shogun 3.2L Diesel · AF55 OYY

The Mitsubishi Shogun presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT test on 24 September 2025 at 94,772 miles, where the tester recorded no defects. The maintenance trend is stable and improving. After two failed tests in early 2023, the vehicle cleared with no advisories from June 2023 onward and has remained clean through to the 2025 examination, indicating the earlier issues were resolved and not left to recur. Recorded mileage sits at 94,772 against a 21-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 4,513 miles per year. The records show a long dormant period between 24 March 2022 (91,316 miles) and 14 March 2023 (92,573 miles), then a cluster of activity in 2023 with three tests inside six months. The 2025 test added only 2,022 miles over roughly fifteen months. Such low annual use suggests extended standing, which commonly accelerates corrosion on structural members and allows brake calipers and suspension bushes to stiffen through disuse. The 2023 failures on 14 March and 5 June at 92,573 and 92,746 miles carried no listed defects, pointing to administrative or unrecorded minor rectifications rather than hard mechanical faults. A buyer should still inspect the underside for structural rust, check brake discs and calipers for binding after the standing periods, and verify suspension bushes and coil springs for perishing. The clean 2025 sheet offers no active warnings, but the Shogun's age warrants a physical check of exhaust emissions and chassis integrity before purchase.
