2020 Mitsubishi Shogun 2.4L Diesel · SV70 BUU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile despite a pattern of immediate retest successes. The most recent MOT on 28 August 2025 at 68,078 miles passed with no defects recorded, following an unexplained failure just six days prior at 68,077 miles. This sequence suggests the failures were likely due to minor, easily rectified items such as a blown bulb or a minor sensor fault that was addressed immediately before the successful retest, rather than systemic mechanical failure or structural degradation. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,300 miles per year. Between the November 2023 test at 52,815 miles and the September 2024 test at 57,062 miles, the car covered roughly 4,200 miles, followed by a jump of 11,000 miles in the year leading to the August 2025 test. This steady usage indicates regular operation which is generally beneficial for maintaining brake components and preventing seals from seizing due to long standing periods. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension components and brake system, as the lack of advisories in recent years suggests the vehicle has been maintained to high standards. Given the Shogun's weight, verify the condition of the wish arm bushes and check for any signs of fluid fluid leaks on the undercarriage. While the MOT history is currently clean of recurring rust or mechanical defects, the repeated failures prior to passing imply that the owner reacts to maintenance needs only when prompted by legal compliance requirements.
