2011 Mitsubishi Shogun 3.2L Diesel · WG60 AFZ

The vehicle holds a valid MOT certificate, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of worsening mechanical and structural wear. While it passed the most recent test in November 2025 at 137,054 miles, this followed a failure just one day prior for multiple critical defects. The tester identified a worn nearside anti-roll bar linkage and a failed offside rear stop lamp, which were subsequently addressed. The presence of multiple suspension-related advisories suggests that the chassis components are now reaching the end of their service life. At 137,054 miles over 15 years, the vehicle has averaged approximately 9,137 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a large SUV of this age. The record shows a significant gap of 14,219 miles covered between September 2022 and October 2023, followed by another 16,457 miles in the subsequent fourteen months leading up to November 2025. This consistent annual mileage suggests the vehicle has been used regularly, which explains the progressive degradation of components like the brake system and suspension geometry. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the structural integrity, as the 2023 test already flagged corrosion on the rear integral body structure. Although this did not cause a failure at the time, rust on Shogun frames often accelerates if untreated. The 2025 record also noted a corroded offside front brake pipe covered in grease, which is a concerning finding as grease can mask active leaks or further degradation of the metal line. The suspension system requires immediate attention due to the recorded play in both nearside and offside front ball joints, alongside a corroded offside rear coil spring. The misting nearside front shock absorber indicates a failing seal that will eventually lead to total fluid loss. Given the pitted and scored rear brake discs noted in 2024, the entire braking system should be evaluated for caliper health and pad thickness to ensure safety before purchase.
