2005 Mitsubishi Shogun 3.2L Diesel · DA05 XSD

The Mitsubishi Shogun presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent test on 21 June 2025 at 140,338 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Prior to that, the 9 July 2024 examination at 132,929 miles also passed cleanly. The vehicle shows no escalating faults across the supplied history. Recorded mileage sits at 140,338 over roughly 21 years, equating to about 6,683 miles per year which is typical for a vehicle of this age. The history shows two failed tests on 24 June 2023 at 125,445 miles and 27 June 2024 at 132,929 miles, yet both failures carry no defects and were immediately followed by passes at near-identical mileages (125,485 and 132,929 respectively). This pattern suggests administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical neglect, with annual mileage accumulation steady at roughly 7,400 miles between 2023 and 2024 and 7,400 again to 2025. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and chassis corrosion, given the Shogun's age and the absence of detailed advisory notes in the record. The clean MOT outcomes provide no visibility of suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake disc wear, all of which degrade silently on a 2005 4x4 with 140,000 miles. The lack of recorded advisories across five tests is unusual for a vehicle of this vintage and may reflect lenient testing rather than genuinely unworn components. Examine the underbody for rust, check the transfer box and drivetrain for leaks, and verify the brake calipers are free, as these areas are not captured by a pass with no defects.
