2005 Mitsubishi Shogun Sport 2.5L Diesel · KA05 MJX

The vehicle has not had a recorded MOT since May 2023, which means it is now significantly overdue for testing. The last recorded test passed only after repairs were made to a worn upper suspension arm ball joint, corroded brake pipes, an exhaust leak, and severely deteriorated CV boots. There is a clear and recurring pattern of deterioration regarding rubber components and the chassis. Multiple entries highlight tyres that were cracking or perishing and CV boots that were severely deteriorated. This is accompanied by a history of excessive play in the track rod ends and wear in the anti-roll bar bushes. Corrosion is a persistent issue, specifically regarding the brake pipes, which were noted as corroded or damaged across several years. There have also been repeated mentions of play in the front wheel bearings. The recorded mileage is very low for a 21-year-old vehicle. Given the evidence of perishing tyres and deteriorated rubber boots, this low mileage likely indicates that the vehicle has spent long periods standing rather than being used gently. This lack of use often accelerates the degradation of rubber seals and promotes corrosion.
