MOT Analysis

Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

18 MOT tests are recorded for this 1997 Mitsubishi Shogun (R759 BLD) between July 2006 and June 2016.

The record contains 11 passes and 7 failures.

The most recent test on 21 June 2016 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 7 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (18 issues), Lighting (15 issues), Tyres (7 issues), Suspension (3 issues), Steering (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 26 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.

Recorded failure items include: “Parking brake lever has no reserve travel (3.1.6b)”; “Nearside Rear Seat belt has a cut which has significantly weakened the webbing (5.2.2a)”; “Rear Registration plate lamp not working both (1.1.C.1d)”.
