Mitsubishi Shogun (2010)
2010 Mitsubishi Shogun
CarHunch analysed 1,281 real MOT records for the 2010 Mitsubishi Shogun. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2010 Mitsubishi Shogun's 78.6% first-time pass rate sits just 1.4 percentage points below the UK average, which is respectable—but the real concern is that 42.8% of these vehicles have recorded a dangerous defect at some point, well above acceptable levels and a genuine red flag for structural or safety issues. With nearly 3.5 failures per vehicle on average, buyers should expect meaningful repair costs beyond routine maintenance.
At 82,417 miles median, these Shoguns show typical wear for their age, yet they're accumulating an average of 21.9 advisories each—suggesting wear is developing across multiple systems rather than isolated failures. Before committing to one, get a detailed pre-purchase inspection focusing on the suspension, transmission, and any history of dangerous defect repairs, as the high proportion of vehicles with serious issues means thorough checking could save you from inheriting a money pit.
What to check before buying a 2010 Mitsubishi Shogun
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.
- ⚠️ 42.8% of these vehicles have had a dangerous defect recorded. Enter the reg below — the full MOT history will show exactly what was flagged and whether it was resolved.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
