2016 Mitsubishi Shogun 3.2L Diesel · SY16 NHT

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a clear decline in mechanical condition following several years of stability. While the car secured three clean passes between 2022 and 2024, the December 2025 test at 84,970 miles revealed a significant surge in advisories across the suspension and braking systems. This suggests that components are now reaching the end of their operational life and require attention to prevent failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,500 miles per year. The data shows steady usage, moving from 66,987 miles in June 2022 to 84,970 miles by late 2025. However, the jump of nearly 2,600 miles between April 2024 and December 2025 coincides with the sudden appearance of multiple wear-related faults that were noted in the most recent inspection. A buyer must prioritize a thorough inspection of the front suspension and braking architecture. The December 2025 record flagged play in the nearside front anti-roll bar linkage and all lower suspension arm ball joints, which indicates significant rubber bushing degradation or joint wear. Furthermore, the tester identified an offside front brake dragging and extensive corrosion across multiple brake pipes and hoses. The presence of grease on the corroded pipes is particularly concerning as it may mask the extent of the structural decay of the metal lines.
