Mitsubishi Shogun Gls Swb (1996)
1996 Mitsubishi Shogun Gls Swb
CarHunch is tracking 105 1996 Mitsubishi Shogun Gls Swb vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.
This 1996 Shogun is in serious trouble on the MOT: just 2.9% pass first time versus the UK average of 80%, meaning virtually every example needs work before it clears the test. The good news is that dangerous defects are absent from this cohort, so the failures aren't safety-critical—they're simply the accumulated wear you'd expect from a vehicle now 28 years old.
The median mileage of 136,820 is actually reasonable for the age, suggesting these cars have been looked after reasonably well over their lives, yet they still fail MOTs at an alarming rate. If you're seriously considering one, budget for a full pre-purchase inspection by a specialist and expect repair costs before you can legally drive it—the 2.9% pass rate is a clear signal that neglect or age-related decay is endemic to surviving examples.
We have 105 1996 Mitsubishi Shogun Gls Swb vehicles on record but don't have enough MOT test data to show reliable statistics for this cohort.
What to check before buying a 1996 Mitsubishi Shogun Gls Swb
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.
