2007 Mitsubishi Shogun 3.2L Diesel · FE07 AFN

The 2007 Mitsubishi Shogun shows a maintenance history marked by recurring structural concerns and mechanical wear. In the most recent recorded test in January 2022 at 200,976 miles, the vehicle passed despite noted corrosion on the offside and nearside inner sills. While the tester indicated that structural rigidity was not significantly reduced at that time, the presence of rust on integral body structures is a progressive issue that requires constant monitoring. The vehicle has not had a recorded MOT in over four years, meaning the current roadworthiness and the state of the aforementioned corrosion are unknown and likely require a fresh inspection. The mileage progression is remarkably consistent, averaging approximately 10,600 miles per year, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. However, the high mileage of 200,000 miles places significant strain on the drivetrain and suspension components. Historical data reveals a pattern of attention to minor items, such as a failure in 2016 for a registration plate lamp and headlamp aim, and a failure in 2015 for insufficient washer fluid and worn wipers. The period between 78,000 and 150,000 miles was marked by relatively clean records, but the later tests show more frequent issues with suspension components and structural integrity. A buyer should prioritize a thorough structural inspection of the inner sills to ensure the corrosion has not worsened since the 2022 report. The previous history of track rod ball joint play and damp shock absorbers suggests the suspension may be nearing the end of its service life. Given the four-year gap since the last MOT, there is a high probability that consumables such as brake pads, discs, and tyres have degraded or reached their limits. The vehicle represents a high-mileage example where structural rust and mechanical fatigue are the primary risks to long-term viability.
