2007 Mitsubishi Shogun 3.2L Diesel · OY07 TKK

The 2007 Mitsubishi Shogun’s most recent MOT on 2024-03-29 at 208,107 miles resulted in a failure, though no defects were recorded. This aligns with a prior failure on 2023-03-28 at the same mileage, suggesting a potential inconsistency in testing or unresolved issues. Subsequent tests in 2023-03-29, 2022-05-20, and 2021-05-12 all passed without defects, indicating a stable maintenance record in earlier years. The lack of recorded faults in passing tests implies no critical mechanical or structural failures were identified, but the repeated failures at identical mileage raise questions about the vehicle’s compliance or testing accuracy. The vehicle’s mileage of 208,107 miles over 19 years equates to an average of 10,953 miles annually, which is typical for its age. However, the gap between the 2021-05-12 test (179,457 miles) and 2022-05-20 (187,883 miles) shows a 8,426-mile increase in one year, followed by minimal growth to 208,107 miles by 2024. This suggests possible periods of reduced usage or storage, which could affect components like brakes, suspension, and corrosion. The absence of detailed defect reports in passing tests limits insight into long-term wear, but the consistent mileage progression implies no rapid deterioration in critical systems. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension, brakes, and exhaust systems, as these are common wear points in older vehicles. The repeated MOT failures, despite no recorded defects, warrant scrutiny of the vehicle’s compliance history and potential unresolved issues. Structural rust, particularly in the chassis or body panels, should also be checked, as it can compromise integrity over time. While the MOT record lacks specific fault details, the pattern of failures and mileage suggests the need for a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm roadworthiness.
