Our Verdict
Recommended. This Shogun presents a very
When inspecting this vehicle, focus on the service history to ensure the 3.2L diesel engine has been maintained according to manufacturer intervals. Given the low mileage for its age, check for signs of prolonged idling or short-trip use, which can affect diesel particulate filters. Use the recent MOT advisory regarding rear brake pads as a negotiation point, as these will require replacement in the near future.
Ensure you verify the full service record, specifically looking for oil changes and any evidence of drivetrain maintenance. While the MOT history is clean, a physical inspection of the underbody is essential for any Shogun to check for signs of chassis wear or rust.
The 3200cc diesel engine is designed for torque and towing rather than efficiency, meaning fuel costs will be significant compared to smaller SUVs. You should expect high road tax due to the engine size and CO2 emissions, and insurance will likely fall into a mid-to-high group reflecting the vehicle's size and value.
Typical maintenance for the Shogun includes expensive tyre replacements and periodic drivetrain lubrication. Combined with fuel, tax, and insurance, the annual running costs are substantial.
Specifically check the rear brake pads, as the January 2026 MOT noted they are wearing thin. Because corrosion, anti-roll bar issues, and headlamp failures are the top reasons for MOT failures across 35,007 analysed Shoguns, pay close attention to the chassis, suspension components, and all external lighting.
Inspect the underbody thoroughly for surface rust or structural corrosion, which is a known weak point for this model. Additionally, check the operation of the 4WD system to ensure it engages and disengages smoothly, as this is critical for the vehicle's utility.
This 2016 white Mitsubishi Shogun 3.2L diesel has a recorded mileage of 64,591 miles as of January 2026. The vehicle has passed every MOT test it has undergone since 2022, with only minor advisories noted in the most recent inspection. Its mileage is consistent with the average for this model, making it a statistically stable option for a used 4x4 buyer.
With an average MOT pass rate of 77.7% across over 35,000 vehicles, the Shogun is generally reliable, though it frequently struggles with corrosion and anti-roll bar wear.
