2007 Mitsubishi Shogun 3.2L Diesel · CX57 VAF

The Mitsubishi Shogun presents as roadworthy following its most recent test on 4 August 2025 at 137,948 miles, which returned a pass with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable on paper, though the surrounding record shows a recurring pattern of administrative failures immediately preceding passes. On 1 August 2025 the vehicle failed at the same 137,948 miles with no defects listed, and previously on 22 July 2024 it failed at 131,096 miles before passing on 26 July 2024 at 131,101 miles. These back-to-back fail-and-pass pairs with zero recorded faults suggest documentation or presentation issues at the test centre rather than unresolved mechanical defects. Mileage accumulation is consistent with typical use for a 2007 vehicle. The records show 127,568 miles on 23 January 2024, rising to 131,101 miles by 26 July 2024, then 137,948 miles by August 2025. That equates to roughly 6,500 to 7,000 miles per year, marginally below the 7,260-mile annual average for the age. No rapid accumulation or unexplained gaps appear between tests; the sparse but clean advisory history offers little insight into wear cycles on consumables or drivetrain components. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and corrosion points, as the Shogun's age and ladder-frame chassis make underbody rust a known risk the MOT record does not detail. The suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs warrant hands-on checks despite no advisories being raised. The two failure entries with no defects recorded imply the previous owner may have presented the vehicle without correct paperwork or roadworthiness preparation, so verify V5C authenticity and confirm the August 2025 pass reflects genuine condition rather than a clerical retry.
