2019 Mitsubishi Shogun 2.4L Diesel · GX19 DXM

The most recent MOT on 2026-03-12 recorded two instances of worn anti-roll bar linkage pins or bushes on both rear sides, classified as non-critical defects (5.3.4 (a) (i)). These issues were also noted in the 2025 and 2024 MOTs, indicating a recurring mechanical pattern. No new major defects were reported in the latest test, but the persistence of these issues suggests ongoing wear in the rear suspension system. The 2025 MOT revealed additional concerns: a corroded and holed front crossmember, worn and pitted rear brake discs, and thin rear brake pads. These defects were not repeated in the 2026 test, but the presence of brake-related issues in 2025 and 2024 highlights potential degradation in braking components. The 2024 MOT specifically mentioned thin brake pads, which may indicate gradual wear rather than sudden failure. The vehicle’s mileage of 24,992 miles over seven years equates to roughly 3,570 miles annually, which is low for its age. This could reflect light usage or extended periods of inactivity, both of which may contribute to uneven wear. Low mileage often correlates with less strain on consumables like brakes and suspension, but it can also lead to issues such as corrosion from standing or degraded rubber components. The defect trend shows stability rather than worsening.
