Our Verdict
Exercise significant caution. This is a
Prioritise verifying the current MOT status, as the provided data shows no tests since July 2022. You should request evidence of any maintenance carried out during this gap, specifically regarding the 2.8L diesel engine's health and the replacement of the anti-roll bar linkage ball joints flagged in the last test.
Negotiate based on the age of the vehicle and the likelihood of required immediate repairs. Ensure you check for a comprehensive service history, although the MOT records alone cannot confirm the level of care the vehicle has received.
The 2830cc diesel engine is likely to have high fuel consumption and will fall into a higher vehicle excise duty bracket due to its age and emissions profile. Insurance groups for vintage 4x4s can vary, but the age of the vehicle may impact premium costs.
Maintenance costs are expected to be higher than average due to the 209,287-mile odometer reading. Typical annual expenses for fuel, tax, insurance, and necessary repairs for a vehicle of this vintage and mileage are likely to be significant.
Conduct a thorough inspection of the chassis and underbody for corrosion, as this is one of the top failure reasons for this model. Specifically check the nearside front and offside rear anti-roll bar linkage ball joints, which were recorded as having play in 2022.
Inspect all tyres for cracking or perishing, with particular attention to the offside rear tyre mentioned in the MOT history. Finally, check the headlamps and electrical systems, as headlamp issues are a common failure point across the Shogun model range.
This silver 1994 Mitsubishi Shogun has a recorded mileage of 209,287 miles as of July 2022. Its last MOT test was a pass, though it included advisories for anti-roll bar linkages and tyre condition. Given the model's aggregate pass rate of 77.7% and known susceptibility to corrosion, this vehicle represents a high-risk purchase.
The Shogun has an average MOT pass rate of 77.7%, with common failures frequently linked to corrosion, anti-roll bars, and headlamps.
