1996 Mitsubishi Shogun: petrol or diesel?

Petrol, diesel and hybrid versions go wrong in different ways, so each has its own figures from the MOTs these cars had during 2023–2025. Pick the one you’re looking at: the fuel is on the logbook and in the car’s MOT history.

Petrol 68% pass first time (all 1996 cars: 66%) Stands out: exhaust system 2.5× 157 MOTsSee the petrol guide › Diesel 68% pass first time (all 1996 cars: 66%) Stands out: chassis rust or damage 3.3×, number plate lights 2.1× 419 MOTsSee the diesel guide ›

Hybrid versions had too few MOTs for figures of their own, or weren’t sold.
