2014 Mitsubishi Shogun 3.2L Diesel · WP14 NHH

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test in January 2026 at 91,105 miles resulted in an advisory for thin rear brake pads. This follows a failure in early 2025 that required a lamp repair and brake pipe attention. While the vehicle consistently passes its tests, the appearance of wear indicates that components are now beginning to require scheduled replacement. The mileage pattern is consistent with a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,600 miles per year. There is a notable two-year gap between April 2022 at 71,571 miles and January 2024 at 76,801 miles, during which only 5,230 miles were covered. Since then, the vehicle has covered over 14,000 miles in two years, suggesting a recent increase in annual usage which often explains the accelerated wear on rubber components and friction materials like the braking system. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the braking system, specifically focusing on the offside front brake pipe flagged for corrosion in 2025. The presence of grease on the pipe often indicates an attempt to mask leaks or hide degradation, which warrants a close physical check. Given the recent advisory for thin rear pads, the condition of the rear discs should be examined for uneven wear or excessive pitting. Because of the age of the Shogun, the chassis and suspension mounting points also require inspection for structural corrosion, as no such issues were yet noted in the recent history.
