2020 Mitsubishi Shogun 2.4L Diesel · SV70 BUO

This Mitsubishi Shogun has demonstrated consistent roadworthiness over its most recent MOT cycles, with all three tests—including the latest on 2025-06-30—passing without any defects or advisories. The absence of recurring issues across these intervals suggests the vehicle has been maintained at a basic level, though the lack of advisories does not preclude hidden wear. The most recent test, just over a year ago, aligns with the standard 12-month MOT cycle, indicating no extended periods of neglect. However, the clean record does not guarantee current condition—critical components like suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers could still require inspection, as these are not always flagged until they fail. The mileage progression reveals a steady but moderate usage pattern, averaging roughly 7,900 miles annually, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. The gap between the 2023 and 2024 tests—just 1,343 miles in four months—followed by a more typical 8,507 miles over the next year, suggests no prolonged periods of inactivity or excessive wear. There is no evidence of aggressive driving or extended storage, though the absence of a pre-MOT service history means consumables like brake pads, tyres, and wiper blades may have been replaced irregularly. The recorded mileage of 47,429 miles at the last test is consistent with a vehicle that has seen reasonable use without extreme stress. Given the sparse MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of high-wear areas that are not always captured in tests. The suspension—particularly rear bushes and coil springs—should be checked for excessive play or corrosion, as these are common failure points on this model. Brake discs and calipers warrant scrutiny for uneven wear or binding, especially if the vehicle has been driven hard. Structural integrity, particularly around wheel arches and sills, should be assessed for corrosion, as this can compromise safety without immediate MOT failure. While the MOT record is unremarkable, these components are not guaranteed to be in perfect condition.
