2016 Mitsubishi Shogun 3.2L Diesel · SW16 CTY

The vehicle currently presents a good roadworthiness status following a clean pass in its most recent MOT on February 2026 at 57,413 miles. The maintenance trend is improving, as the mechanical and lighting defects identified in late 2023 have been addressed. The absence of any advisories in the 2025 and 2026 tests indicates that the previous issues were rectified and the vehicle has since met all standards. The mileage profile is notably low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,700 miles per year. There is a significant gap in records between May 2022 and December 2023, where the car covered roughly 10,000 miles in seventeen months, followed by a more consistent usage pattern with over 12,000 miles covered in the last two years. This low annual mileage suggests short-distance use, though it can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components and brake corrosion if the vehicle sits stationary for long periods between tests. A buyer should physically inspect the braking system to ensure that the pitting and scoring noted in the December 2023 test on both front and rear discs have been replaced rather than merely resurfaced. Given the low mileage, it is vital to check for seized calipers or uneven pad wear, which often occur on vehicles that are not driven frequently. While the headlamp alignment and fog lamp issues from 2023 were resolved, verifying the electrical integrity of the lighting cluster remains a standard precaution.
