2004 Mitsubishi Shogun DI-D Eleg-CE LWB A 3.2L Diesel · XCZ 3772

The roadworthiness of this Mitsubishi Shogun is currently questionable following a failed MOT test in April 2024. While the vehicle maintained a clean record for several years, the most recent failure at 163,338 miles without recorded defects suggests a non-presentation issue or a specific mechanical failure that was not rectified prior to the test. The maintenance trend appears unstable, as the vehicle moved from a period of clean passes in 2022 and 2023 to a failure state in its most recent recorded check. The mileage profile shows a consistent usage pattern for a vehicle of twenty-two years, averaging approximately 7,400 miles per year. Between December 2021 and January 2022, the vehicle covered only 151 miles, indicating a short period of lower use. However, the mileage increased significantly by 8,509 miles between February 2023 and April 2024. This recent spike in annual-driven mileage suggests the vehicle is currently being used more heavily than in previous years, which places increased demand on age-related wear components across the fourWD drivetrain and suspension. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the chassis and underbody, as Shoguns of this era are prone to structural corrosion that can go unnoticed. Given the lack of advisories in previous passing tests, it is possible that minor surface rust was being ignored until it reached a critical point. Particular attention should also be paid to the suspension control arm bushes and the condition of the brake lines, as the 2024 failure indicates a potential mechanical oversight that requires verification to ensure the vehicle is truly roadworthy.
