2019 MITSUBISHI SHOGUN2.4L Diesel

This Mitsubishi Shogun has maintained a consistently clean MOT history with no defects recorded across the last five annual tests, most recently passing on 2025-10-14 at 17,881 miles. The absence of advisories or failures suggests the vehicle has been subjected to regular, if not rigorous, servicing in line with manufacturer recommendations. The most recent test confirms no binding brakes, excessive corrosion, or suspension faults—critical areas where wear often escalates over time. However, the lack of any recorded issues does not preclude the need for a thorough independent inspection, particularly given the vehicle’s age and the relatively low mileage. The recorded mileage of 17,881 miles over seven years—approximately 2,554 miles annually—is notably low for a vehicle of this age, indicating either infrequent use or prolonged periods of storage. The mileage increments between tests are consistent, with roughly 2,728 miles accumulated between each annual MOT, suggesting the vehicle has not been driven excessively between services. While this low mileage could imply reduced wear on high-stress components like tyres or brakes, it also raises questions about potential neglect in other areas, such as fluid changes or minor servicing tasks that might not directly affect MOT pass criteria but could impact long-term reliability. Given the clean MOT record, a buyer should prioritise an inspection of components that often fail without immediate MOT consequences. Focus on the suspension system—particularly the condition of coil springs, bushes, and track rods—for signs of deterioration or excessive play, as these can degrade gradually without causing an MOT failure. The brake system warrants close examination, including the condition of calipers, pads, and discs, to ensure there is no hidden corrosion or uneven wear that could lead to binding or reduced efficiency. Additionally, check for structural corrosion, especially around wheel arches, sills, and the subframe, as this can compromise the vehicle’s integrity over time. Tyre tread depth and sidewall integrity should also be verified, as the absence of MOT failures in this area does not guarantee they have been maintained properly. Finally, inspect fluid levels and condition—brakes, power steering, and engine oil—to confirm they have been serviced according to schedule.
