2016 Mitsubishi Shogun 3.2L Diesel · SD66 XSN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. While it passed its latest test in September 2025 at 78,218 miles, this followed a significant failure just one day prior. The transition from a failure to a pass indicates that critical mechanical issues involving the exhaust system and braking components were addressed immediately upon inspection. This pattern suggests the owner only addresses faults when necessitated by the legal testing requirement rather than performing preventative maintenance between service intervals. At 78,218 miles, the Shogun has averaged approximately 7,800 miles per year, which is consistent with typical usage for a ten-year-old SUV. The data shows a steady mileage pattern, with roughly 7,600 miles driven between September 2023 and August 2024, and another 7,500 miles leading into the September 2025 tests. This consistent use suggests the vehicle does not sit for long periods, which explains the physical degradation of rubber components and metal surfaces noted in the record. A prospective buyer must conduct a close inspection of the steering and suspension systems. The September 2025 test flagged play in the steering rack inner joints and a severely deteriorated anti-roll bar linkage ball joint dust cover. These issues affect handling precision and should be verified for continued wear. Furthermore, the braking system shows recurring issues with binding rear brakes and pitted front discs. The buyer should check for signs of heat damage or caliper seizing and ensure the front discs have actually been replaced, as the previous record noted they were significantly worn and scored.
