2005 Mitsubishi Shogun 3.2L Diesel · FH05 YLC

The Mitsubishi Shogun presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, based on the most recent test on 10 May 2023 at 88,143 miles where the tester recorded a pass with no defects. Prior to that, the 20 October 2021 test at 82,995 miles also passed cleanly. No advisories or failures appear across either examination, indicating no worsening mechanical faults in the recorded period. The recorded mileage shows light use for a 21-year-old vehicle. From the October 2021 test at 82,995 miles to the May 2023 test at 88,143 miles, the Shogun covered only 5,148 miles over roughly 18 months, equating to about 3,432 miles per year. This low annual accumulation aligns with the lifetime average of circa 4,197 miles per year. The record shows a notable gap between the 2021 and 2023 tests of over 18 months, and no MOT data exists after May 2023, leaving the vehicle's status unverified for the three years preceding today's date of 8 July 2026. A clean MOT history with no flagged items means the buyer cannot infer recurring suspension bushes, brake disc, or corrosion issues from the record itself. The absence of advisories at 88,143 miles suggests previous owners kept basic roadworthiness in order. However, the Shogun's age means structural integrity and hidden corrosion around chassis members, sills, and suspension mounts should be physically inspected, as the MOT may not capture early-stage rust. Given the low mileage and standing periods implied by the usage pattern, the buyer should verify the condition of perishable components such as tyres, brake hoses, and fluid intervals that degrade with time rather than distance. An in-person check of the drivetrain and transfer box for leaks or binding calipers remains sensible on a vehicle of this type and vintage, despite the unblemished test record.
