2008 Mitsubishi Shogun 3.2L Diesel · RF08 ACU

This Mitsubishi Shogun presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean maintenance trend. The most recent test on 18 July 2025 at 121,323 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the record shows a failure on the same day, the immediate pass without listed defects suggests a clerical error or a minor rectification that did not warrant a detailed entry. The mileage pattern is consistent for a vehicle of this age. It has covered approximately 9,166 miles between the August 2024 test at 117,054 miles and the July 2025 test. This follows a steady accumulation from 112,157 miles in August 2022, indicating the car is in regular use rather than suffering from the degradation associated with long periods of standing. The absence of advisories across the last four years is unusual for a 2008 4x4. There are no recorded failures relating to suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake discs, nor any mentions of exhaust emissions or tyre tread wear. This suggests a high standard of preventative maintenance by the previous owner. A buyer should still prioritise a physical inspection of the chassis and underbody. The MOT record does not explicitly mention corrosion, but structural rust is a common failure point for this model. Focus on the chassis rails and rear suspension mounting points to ensure the lack of MOT advisories reflects actual vehicle condition rather than a lenient testing regime.
