2003 Mitsubishi Shogun 3.2L Diesel · M2 BFE

The most recent MOT on 19 February 2026 shows a pass, despite an accompanying fail entry for the same mileage; neither record lists any defects. The previous year’s MOT (26 February 2025) also passed with no faults, and the 2024 entries repeat the pass/fail pairing but again without any recorded issues. This pattern suggests no substantive mechanical problems have been flagged in the official record, and the alternating pass/fail entries are likely administrative rather than indicative of recurring faults. The vehicle’s mileage—174,247 mi at 23 years old—averages about 7,600 mi per year, which sits squarely within normal usage for a vehicle of this age. It does not point to excessive wear, nor does it clearly indicate long periods of inactivity; the mileage signal is therefore fairly neutral. Overall the MOT trend appears stable: no new defects have emerged over the last three years, and the records do not show a worsening pattern. With the mileage in line with typical wear, the main risk is the usual age‑related deterioration of consumables (brake pads, suspension bushings, timing belt/chain, and engine seals), even though none have been flagged yet. Key checks for a buyer: - Inspect the brakes and suspension for wear or noise. - Verify the condition of the timing belt/chain and any associated tensioners. - Look for oil leaks, coolant condition, and exhaust smoke during a short run‑about.
