2016 Mitsubishi Shogun 3.2L Diesel · S6 NKT

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of recurring mechanical failures and reactive repairs. While it passed its most recent test in October 2025 at 97,001 miles, this followed a failure just one day prior for multiple critical issues. The trend suggests that the vehicle is only repaired when necessary to pass the MOT, as evidenced by the progression of steering and braking faults that reappear across the last two years rather than being addressed through a proactive service schedule. At 97,001 miles over ten years, the Shogun averages approximately 9,700 miles per year, which is consistent with typical annual usage for a large SUV of this age. The data shows steady mileage between tests, with roughly 6,000 miles covered between October 2023 and October 2024, and another 6,000 miles covered by October 2025. This consistency indicates the vehicle is used regularly, which explains the standard wear on heavy-duty suspension and braking components noted in the record. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the steering and braking systems. The record highlights a persistent leak from the power steering rack dating back to 2023, which evolved into a total failure in 2024 and resulted in play in the steering rack inner joints by late 2025. This suggests the steering assembly may be nearing the end of its life. Additionally, the repeated reports of corroded brake pipes across multiple corners in 2024 and a binding offside front caliper in late 2025 necessitate a close look at the hydraulic lines and the condition of the brake sliders to ensure corrosion is not advancing structurally.
