2015 Mitsubishi Shogun 3.2L Diesel · RB63 ARB

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, but the maintenance history reveals a persistent trend of deferred repairs on secondary components. While the vehicle passed its most recent test in November 2025 at 87,793 miles, it failed just two days prior due to critical tyre failures with exposed cords. The recurring presence of worn anti-roll bar linkages and corroded brake pipes across multiple years suggests that the owner only addresses faults once they reach the point of legal non-compliance or failure. At 87,793 miles over eleven years, the Shogun has followed a consistent usage pattern of approximately 8,000 miles per annum. This mileage is typical for a vehicle of this age, suggesting it has not been subjected to extreme stress but has seen enough use to allow for significant environmental wear. The gap between the November 2024 test (78,889 miles) and the 2025 test (87,793 miles) shows steady operation, which correlates with the gradual degradation of rubber and metal components noted in the record. A buyer must prioritize a thorough physical inspection of the rear brake lines, which have been flagged as corroded and covered in grease since at least 2022. The presence of grease often masks active leaks or advanced surface corrosion that could lead to a sudden hydraulic failure if not replaced. Furthermore, the suspension shows a long history of play in anti-roll bar linkages and lower suspension ball joints. These issues have appeared in records since 2023, indicating that the steering geometry and stability components are nearing the end of their functional life. The front brake discs also require close attention as they have been noted as pitted and scored for three consecutive testing years. While not an immediate failure risk, the surface condition suggests the vehicle may sit for long periods or undergoes harsh braking cycles. Given the failure in 2025 due to bald rear tyres, the buyer should verify that the current set of tyres is relatively new, as the previous record shows a pattern of neglecting basic consumable items until they become dangerous.
