Mitsubishi Shogun Equippe Di D (2006)
2006 Mitsubishi Shogun Equippe Di D
CarHunch analysed 114 real MOT records for the 2006 Mitsubishi Shogun Equippe Di D. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
This 2006 Shogun diesel sits slightly below the UK average at 76.3% first-time pass rate, suggesting it's a moderately reliable proposition rather than a standout performer. The good news is that zero vehicles in this cohort have ever recorded a dangerous defect, so structural and safety issues aren't a pattern to worry about here.
At 129,000 miles on average, these Shoguns have done genuine work for their age, yet they're still averaging just 1.17 failures per MOT—manageable wear rather than systemic breakdown. If you're considering one, budget for minor repairs at each test cycle, but don't assume you're buying a basket case; focus your inspection on the cooling system and suspension components, which typically account for the failures we're seeing.
What to check before buying a 2006 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.
