2011 Mitsubishi Shogun 3.2L Diesel · LC55 JFC

The vehicle presents a generally stable roadworthiness profile, as evidenced by the most recent MOT pass on 18 June 2026 at 31,126 miles. While the most recent test only flagged a damaged windscreen, the 2025 inspection at 30,538 miles revealed a significant cluster of advisories spanning braking, suspension, and structural integrity. This suggests a period of increased mechanical attention was required following several years of clean records. The mileage pattern confirms exceptionally low usage for a 2011 vehicle, averaging approximately 2,075 miles per year. The record shows a steady, incremental climb from 11,166 miles in 2014 to the current 31,126 miles. This low-frequency use likely explains the specific types of wear observed. For instance, the 2020 and 2021 tests both flagged perishing tyres, a common symptom of vehicles that sit stationary for extended periods rather than suffering from high-speed road wear. A prospective buyer must carefully inspect the chassis and suspension components. The 2025 test highlighted corrosion on all front and rear suspension components and specific structural corrosion near the towbar mounting. Although these were not deemed serious at the time, the low mileage and age mean the vehicle is susceptible to age-related oxidation. The tester also noted a severely deteriorated offside front lower suspension arm ball joint dust cover in June 2025, which requires verification that it has since been replaced. Braking components also require a physical check. The 2025 record noted pitted front brake discs and thinning rear pads. While the 2026 test did not repeat these issues, the history of corrosion on the offside brake pipe in 2020 indicates that the braking system's plumbing and surface finishes are prone to degradation due to inactivity. Confirming that the 2025 advisories regarding brakes and suspension were addressed with actual repairs rather than just being monitored is essential.
