Mitsubishi Shogun Equippe Di D (2004)
2004 Mitsubishi Shogun Equippe Di D
CarHunch analysed 109 real MOT records for the 2004 Mitsubishi Shogun Equippe Di D. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
This 2004 Shogun Equippe is a below-average MOT performer, with a first-time pass rate of 66.8% against the UK average of 80%—meaning roughly one in three examples will fail on their test visit. The good news is that dangerous defects are absent from this cohort, so while these vehicles need work, they're not showing safety-critical issues.
At 141,500 miles median mileage for a 20-year-old diesel 4x4, these Shoguns are running hard, and that's reflected in the 1.14 average failures per test—mostly suspension and wear items typical of ageing off-roaders. Before buying, budget for a pre-purchase inspection focused on undercarriage and exhaust systems, and expect regular maintenance to keep it road-legal.
What to check before buying a 2004 Mitsubishi Shogun Equippe Di D
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
