MITSUBISHI SHOGUN 3.2 DI-D SG3 - LECTURER/SCIENTIST OWNED - MASTER MECHANIC MAINTAINED
Cheapest shogun 2012 on Autotrader
This Mitsubishi Shogun SG3 offers a rare "no-expense-spared" history. Originally a Highways Agency (DoT) motorway vehicle until 2017, it benefited from a government "blank cheque" maintenance program. Since October 2017, it has been owned by a University Leader and Social Scientist as a second vehicle, covering just 2,000-2,500 miles per year for occasional road trips and shopping. (can be verified via MOT history)
Maintained with a preventative mindset, this car has been cared for exclusively by a Mitsubishi Master Mechanic (and MOT tester) using only genuine, high-specification parts and oils.
The 3.2 DI-D unit is in near-perfect condition, starts instantly, uses no oil, and has no leaks.
Recent Work: New battery installed June 2025 (5-year Halfords warranty). New brake discs and pads fitted recently. Tyres have plenty of life remaining, spare tyre looks brand new.
Reliability: In 8 years of ownership, it has never broken down. Long MOT until June 2026.
Never used for off-roading, speeding, or heavy work. While a tow bar is included (currently removed to reduce weight), the vehicle has never towed during our ownership. It is a robust, reliable, and lower-priced alternative to a Toyota Land Cruiser.
Seating: Premium Black Leather. Both the second and third-row seats are in almost brand-new condition. Front heated seats are intact with no leather tears.
Rockford Premium Entertainment System, fully functional sunroof, and partial wood-finish dashboard.
Exterior: Silver paintwork with excellent road presence. Minor age-related marks only; no major cosmetic imperfections (as seen in the photos).
Due to its legendary reliable engine, silver exterior, and meticulous maintenance, this is an ideal candidate for export to some overseas markets, or for a UK buyer seeking a high-spec, honest SUV.
Key Details:
2 Owners (DoT followed by current professional owner).
2 Keys included.
Service history documented since 2017.
Reason for sale: Upgrading to a new car.
