2013 Mitsubishi Shogun 3.2L Diesel · JN52 MCG

The Mitsubishi Shogun presents a clean bill of health through its entire recorded MOT history. The most recent test on 24 November 2025 at 50,897 miles passed with zero defects, and this pattern is consistent across every single test back to November 2021. There are no advisories, no recurring faults, and no failures on record. The maintenance trend is entirely stable, indicating a vehicle that has been kept in sound mechanical order throughout its life. The mileage accumulation tells a clear story. Over five years, the Shogun has covered just 10,163 miles, averaging roughly 2,032 miles annually. That is exceptionally low for a 13-year-old vehicle, even below the already modest 3,915 miles-per-year figure calculated from its total age. The increments are steady and gradual: 2,744 miles between November 2022 and November 2023, 1,754 miles between November 2023 and November 2024, and 3,301 miles between November 2024 and November 2025. There are no sudden spikes suggesting long periods of neglect followed by heavy use, nor suspiciously flat odometer readings that might indicate tampering. The vehicle appears to have seen light, regular use with no alarming gaps. Despite the clean MOT record, a buyer should still carry out a thorough physical inspection. Low-mileage vehicles that stand for extended periods can develop issues that MOTs do not always catch, such as perished rubber suspension bushes, deteriorated brake hoses, or surface corrosion on the chassis and subframes. The Shogun's body-on-frame construction makes underbody rust a particular concern worth examining with a torch and a screwdriver. Check the condition of the tyres for sidewall cracking, as age-related degradation can set in well before the tread wears down. Inspect the brake discs and calipers for uneven wear or binding, and verify that the exhaust system is free from corrosion, especially around joints and mounting points. The transfer box and differential fluids should be checked, as infrequent use can allow moisture to accumulate in drivetrain oils. A short test drive over varied surfaces will reveal any suspension clunks or steering vagueness that a static inspection might miss.
