Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The Mitsubishi Shogun presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent test on 20 December 2025 at 95,366 miles which recorded no defects. Every MOT examination from 2021 through to 2025 returned a pass with no advisories raised. The vehicle shows no worsening mechanical condition and no recurring faults across the five-year record. At roughly 21 years old the Shogun carries 95,366 recorded miles, an average of about 4,541 miles per year. The DVSA data confirms light annual use: the tester logged 81,170 miles on 26 August 2021, rising to 83,240 by 6 September 2022, then 86,865 on 7 September 2023, 92,297 on 10 January 2025, and 95,366 on 20 December 2025. The clean sheet across all entries means no consumable neglect or structural concerns were flagged. Low mileage of this nature often reflects periods of standing, which can allow corrosion or perished rubber components to develop unseen. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers given the vehicle's age and likely static intervals. The MOT record shows no advisories on exhaust emissions, structural integrity, or tyre condition, yet test stations only assess visible faults on the day. Check underneath for chassis rust and inspect the transfer box and drivetrain for leaks typical of a low-use 4x4. Given the sparse but clean history, previous owners appear to have maintained basic statutory compliance without deferred testing. The absence of any failure or advisory suggests careful storage more than intensive upkeep. Verify service invoices to confirm fluid changes and greasing of the drivetrain, as MOT passes alone do not evidence routine mechanical care.
