2005 Mitsubishi Shogun Equippe DI-D 3.2L Diesel · J1 FGD

The Mitsubishi Shogun presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 25 June 2025 at 132,169 miles, with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable and shows no worsening pattern across the available history. A prior failure on 20 May 2025 at 131,891 miles is notable, yet the tester logged no defects, indicating the refusal likely stemmed from an administrative or non-mechanical cause such as a documentation or lighting function check rather than a physical fault. Mileage accumulation is consistent with typical use for a 21-year-old vehicle. The record shows 114,921 miles in October 2021, rising to 120,552 by November 2022, then 126,033 in March 2024 and 131,891 by May 2025. That equates to roughly 6,000 miles per year, with a sparse but clean sequence of passes between 2022 and 2024. The gap from March 2024 to the May 2025 failure spans over a year, suggesting the vehicle saw light layup or infrequent use in that window. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural corrosion on chassis rails and outriggers, as Shoguns of this era commonly suffer hidden rust despite clean MOT sheets. The suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs warrant physical checks for age-related fatigue not captured by a no-defect pass. The unexplained May 2025 failure justifies verifying the tester's refusal reason and confirming all lighting, emissions, and identification plates match DVSA expectations before purchase.
