2017 Mitsubishi Shogun 3.2L Diesel · L33 WBA

The Mitsubishi Shogun presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 27 January 2026 at 49,099 miles. The most recent test flagged only minor consumable wear: an offside front tyre worn close to the legal limit and edge wear, plus front brake pads wearing thin. Both are routine items, not structural or mechanical failures. The absence of any suspension, braking system, or emissions defects in the latest test indicates the vehicle is currently in sound roadworthy condition. The mileage pattern is notably low for a 2017 vehicle, averaging roughly 5,455 miles per year. Between the March 2024 test at 37,750 miles and the January 2025 test at 43,565 miles, the vehicle covered approximately 5,815 miles in ten months, which is consistent with regular use. The subsequent jump to 49,099 miles by January 2026 represents about 5,534 miles over twelve months, confirming steady rather than excessive accumulation. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden spikes that would suggest odometer tampering or prolonged standing. The 2025 failure for an excessively worn offside front anti-roll bar ball joint at 43,565 miles is worth noting, but the defect was rectified before the same-day retest passed cleanly. This suggests the previous owner addressed the suspension fault promptly rather than neglecting it. The 2024 wiper blade failure is trivial and consumable in nature. No recurring structural corrosion, exhaust emissions, or braking system defects appear across the record. A buyer should still inspect the front suspension components in person, particularly the anti-roll bar links and bushes, given the earlier ball joint failure. Check the condition of the front brake discs alongside the already flagged pads, and examine the offside front tyre for uneven wear patterns that could indicate alignment or suspension geometry issues. The underbody and chassis mounts should be inspected for corrosion, as the Shogun's off-road capability means it may have seen rough terrain despite the low mileage. Overall, the MOT record reflects a well-maintained vehicle with no persistent mechanical concerns.
