2014 Mitsubishi Shogun 3.2L Diesel · WR64 VDJ

The most recent MOT test conducted in March 2026 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. The overall maintenance trend indicates a period of significant instability in early 2024, where the vehicle suffered multiple failures due to structural corrosion in the rear suspension. However, the subsequent clean passes in 2025 and 2026 suggest that these critical defects were rectified, and the vehicle has since maintained a stable roadworthiness profile. The recorded mileage of 104,084 miles over approximately 12 years represents an average annual usage of roughly 8,674 miles. This is considered typical for a vehicle of this age and type, suggesting consistent use rather than extreme wear or the risks associated with long periods of standing. At this mileage, the buyer should expect standard wear on drivetrain components and consumables, and should verify that major service intervals have been adhered to. Prospective buyers must exercise caution regarding the rear suspension and chassis integrity. The history of failed tests for corroded and seriously weakened upper and lower rear suspension arms indicates a susceptibility to structural rust. During a physical inspection, it is vital to verify that these arms were replaced with new components rather than merely patched. On a test drive, listen for metallic clunks or knocks when traversing uneven ground and feel for any instability or wandering in the rear of the vehicle, which may indicate worn suspension bushes or lingering structural degradation. The advisory noting that the chassis is covered in underseal from front to rear requires a thorough investigation. While underseal can be a protective measure, it is often applied to mask existing corrosion or hide substandard weld repairs. A professional inspection is recommended to ensure the underseal is not concealing active rust on the chassis rails or cross-members. Additionally, given the vehicle's age, the buyer should check the service records for timing belt replacements and inspect the differentials and gearbox for any signs of fluid leaks.
