2017 Mitsubishi Shogun 3.2L Diesel · ST66 XJK

The 2017 Mitsubishi Shogun presents a currently roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the clean pass recorded on 18 September 2025 at 108,830 miles with no defects listed. The most recent test shows the vehicle left the workshop with no advisories, suggesting acceptable condition at that point. Prior to this, the history shows two anomalous failures on the same date of 13 September 2024 at 105,011 miles and an earlier failure on 29 March 2024 at 104,924 miles, yet all three entries carry no recorded defects, indicating administrative or presentation anomalies rather than mechanical faults. The recorded mileage of 108,830 at the 2025 test equates to roughly 12,092 miles per year, which sits high for a nine-year-old 4x4 and points to consistent use rather than long standing periods. From the 19 September 2023 pass at 101,895 miles to the March 2024 failure at 104,924 miles, the vehicle covered only 3,029 miles in six months, a modest rate. The jump to 105,011 miles by September 2024 and then 108,830 by September 2025 reflects steady annual accumulation with no sudden spikes or gaps that would worry a buyer. Given the absence of any logged advisories across the passed tests and the unexplained failures showing no defects, the DVSA record alone offers no evidence of worn suspension bushes, corroded structure, or failing brake components. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of chassis rails, coil springs, and underbody for rust, as Shoguns of this era suffer hidden corrosion. Verify the braking system for binding calipers and check differential and transfer box oil, since high mileage and short urban runs accelerate drivetrain wear unseen by the MOT. The repeated same-day fail and pass on 13 September 2024 implies the prior owner corrected a non-mechanical issue or resubmitted promptly, not a sign of neglected upkeep. The clean 2025 result means the Shogun is legally fit, but the sparse history gives limited insight into consumable replacement cycles, so confirm tyre age and service stamps before purchase.
