2004 Mitsubishi Shogun Sport 2.5L Diesel · LM04 GFG

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 23 October 2025 with 74,553 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record shows a consistent pattern of immediate failure followed by a pass. In both 2024 and 2025, the vehicle failed the initial test on the same day it subsequently passed, suggesting that minor defects were identified and rectified quickly prior to the re-test. The mileage profile is notably low for a 22-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,389 miles per year. Between the October 2023 test at 63,486 miles and the October 2025 test at 74,553 miles, the car covered 11,067 miles. This indicates the vehicle is used for short trips or sits for extended periods. While this reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine, low mileage often leads to specific secondary issues such as dry seals, seized calipers, and the degradation of aging rubber components and bushings. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the structural integrity of the chassis, as high-age Shogun Sports are prone to hidden corrosion in the sills and floor pans. Despite the MOT history showing no recorded advisories, the low usage increases the likelihood of surface rust that has not yet reached the threshold of a failure. Given the age of the vehicle, also examine the suspension bushes for cracking and check the condition of the brake lines and hoses to ensure they have not perished due to the vehicle's long periods of standing.
