2002 Mitsubishi Shogun 3.2L Diesel · CX52 OXZ

The Mitsubishi Shogun passed its most recent MOT on 11 February 2022 at 148,627 miles with no defects recorded, giving a clean roadworthiness status at that time. The available history is a single entry, so no maintenance trend can be established as stable, worsening, or improving beyond that one clean test result. The recorded mileage of 148,627 at the February 2022 test equates to roughly 6,193 miles per year over the vehicle's 24-year life, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. The record shows no earlier entries and no later tests, leaving a gap of over four years to the current date of 8 July 2026. A buyer should treat the absence of recent testing as a major unknown rather than evidence of good care. Given the clean 2022 test and the Shogun's age, the buyer must assume wear on consumable and structural items has developed since. Suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and exhaust corrosion should be physically inspected, as the 2002 chassis is prone to structural rust if exposed to road salt. The standing period implied by the missing 2022 to 2026 tests raises the risk of seized calipers and flat-spotted tyres. The single passed test tells us little about previous owner habits beyond compliance at that point. Without interim records, the buyer should commission a pre-purchase inspection covering emissions, underbody integrity, and drivetrain condition before committing.
