2007 Mitsubishi Shogun 3.2L Diesel · CV57 LDF

The vehicle currently presents as roadworthy, though the maintenance history indicates a pattern of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test in July 2025 at 88,096 miles showed a pass with only an advisory for thin rear brake pads. This represents a significant improvement over the August 2023 failure where the vehicle failed multiple mechanical and emissions criteria. While the current trend appears stable, the history of emission failures and sensor faults suggests that mechanical issues are only addressed when necessitated by an MOT failure. At 19 years old, the recorded mileage of 88,096 miles is remarkably low, averaging approximately 4,600 miles per year. This low usage profile suggests less strain on the drivetrain and engine components but increases the risk associated with age-related degradation of rubber components. Between the August 2023 and July 2024 tests, the vehicle covered 4,110 miles, which is consistent with its low annual average. The long intervals between tests suggest the vehicle may sit stationary for extended periods despite the low total distance travelled. A buyer should inspect the front suspension geometry closely, as the 2023 test flagged a misting offside front shock absorber and uneven wear on both rear tyres. This uneven wear often points to alignment issues or worn suspension bushes that remain unaddressed. The 2023 failure for an inoperative engine management light and the 2024 emissions failure indicate that the fuel management system and oxygen sensors require verification to ensure no intermittent faults have returned. Given the vehicle's age and low mileage, a thorough check for structural corrosion on the chassis rails and sills is essential, as these are common failure points for the Shogun regardless regardless of mileage.
