2013 Mitsubishi Shogun 3.2L Diesel · BJ63 AKF

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2024-04-30 at 291,486 miles showed a pass with no defects, but the prior test on 2024-04-29 at 291,363 miles recorded a fail without defects. This inconsistency suggests potential procedural errors or unresolved issues that were later rectified. Subsequent tests in 2023 and 2022 showed stable performance, with no defects noted. The maintenance trend lacks clear resolution, as the fails occurred within a single day and no technical details were recorded. The vehicle’s mileage of 291,486 miles over 13 years equates to approximately 22,422 miles annually, exceeding typical usage for its age. The MOT records show uneven intervals, with gaps of over a year between tests. The 2022-05-17 test at 269,493 miles was a pass, followed by a fail in 2023-05-05 at 279,552 miles, indicating a rapid 10,059-mile increase in 12 months. This suggests active use, which could accelerate wear on components like suspension bushes, brake discs, and exhaust systems, even if no defects were flagged. A buyer should inspect the vehicle’s suspension for worn coil springs or binding calipers, as high mileage often affects these parts. The absence of corrosion or structural issues in MOT records is positive, but the lack of detailed defect reports means hidden problems could persist. Focus on brake functionality, exhaust emissions, and tyre tread, as these are common wear points. The vehicle’s history implies sporadic maintenance, so a thorough pre-purchase inspection is essential to confirm its current condition.
