2014 Mitsubishi Shogun 3.2L Diesel · V9 LMK

The Mitsubishi Shogun currently holds a roadworthy status having passed its most recent MOT in September 2025 at 111,217 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable as the owner has consistently addressed mechanical failures immediately following testing. While the vehicle failed the September test due to a worn offside front lower sub-frame ball joint, the subsequent pass with no recorded defects or advisories indicates a proactive approach to essential safety-critical repairs once faults are identified by the tester. The vehicle covered 111,217 miles over its twelve-year life, averaging approximately 9,268 miles per year. This figure aligns with typical usage patterns for a large SUV of this age. The record shows a consistent annual testing interval with a significant jump of 20,979 miles recorded between the August 2024 and September 2025 tests. This regular mileage suggests the vehicle is used regularly which helps mitigate the risk of issues associated with the car standing for long periods, which can often lead to premature degradation of rubber components and brake corrosion. A buyer should conduct a close physical inspection of the front suspension geometry, specifically the sub-frame and ball joints, given the previous failure in 2025. Although the vehicle passed since, the heavy weight of the Shogun places significant stress on these bushings and linkages which should be checked for play or tearing. The 2024 failure involving multiple lamps and headlamp aim suggests a past lapse in basic bulb checks, but these are minor electrical issues rather than mechanical risks. There are no structural advisories on the current record, but a manual check for corrosion on the sub-frame and chassis remains vital for a vehicle of this age and mileage.
