2006 Mitsubishi Shogun 3.2L Diesel · WV56 XAD

The 2026‑02‑10 MOT at 149,793 miles passed without any recorded defects, confirming the vehicle’s current roadworthiness and indicating a stable maintenance record. Earlier tests in February 2025 and February 2024 also showed no defects, suggesting consistent upkeep across the recent history. At an average of roughly 7,500 miles per year, the 149,793‑mile odometer reading aligns with typical usage for a 20‑year‑old Shogun. The interval from the 2024‑02‑01 test (145,833 miles) to the 2025‑02‑05 failure (147,151 miles) represents a modest increase of 1,318 miles over eleven months, while the subsequent year‑long period added only a single mile, reflecting normal, non‑abrupt mileage accumulation. A buyer should therefore examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, test the binding of the rear brake calipers, and inspect the condition of the brake discs for scoring or corrosion. Visual inspection of the chassis and wheel arches for rust, especially around the wheel arches and underbody, is advisable, as is checking exhaust system integrity and emissions output. Uneven tyre wear may indicate alignment or suspension issues, so tyre tread depth and wear patterns merit close scrutiny. Overall, the documented MOT history demonstrates a vehicle that has passed each test without defects, and the mileage profile is consistent with average annual use; nevertheless, a physical inspection focusing on suspension, braking, and structural condition is essential before purchase.
