2012 Mitsubishi Shogun 3.2L Diesel · HM04 DEC

The Mitsubishi Shogun presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent test on 12 August 2025 at 114,499 miles which recorded no defects. Prior to that, the 1 August 2024 examination at 103,790 miles also passed cleanly. The vehicle shows no escalating faults across the five-year record. Annual mileage sits at a typical level for a 2012 vehicle, averaging roughly 8,178 miles per year. The records trace a steady climb: 75,993 miles in August 2022, 90,543 miles in August 2023, then 103,786 miles on the failed attempt of 1 August 2024, rising to 103,790 miles on the same-day pass and 114,499 miles by August 2025. The only anomaly is the dual entry for 1 August 2024, where the Shogun failed at 103,786 miles with no defects logged before passing at 103,790 miles hours later, suggesting an administrative or documentation error rather than a mechanical rejection. The clean MOT history gives no advisories on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions, which implies previous owners kept basic consumable and structural upkeep current. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of underside structural integrity and drivetrain wear, as a fourteen-year-old 4x4 with 114,499 miles can hide chassis rust and transfer-box fatigue that an MOT visual check may not record. Given the absence of recurring faults, the Shogun's record reflects disciplined ownership rather than deferred maintenance. Verify service history against the mileage gaps and confirm no outstanding manufacturer recalls before purchase.
