2020 Mitsubishi Shogun 2.4L Diesel · SV70 BVA

The vehicle’s most recent MOT test on 2025-10-20 at 36,837 miles confirms it remains roadworthy without any defects recorded. This consistency across three consecutive annual tests—2023, 2024, and 2025—indicates a stable maintenance pattern with no recurring issues. The absence of advisories or failings suggests the tester did not identify any hidden concerns in suspension components, brake binding, or structural corrosion during the most recent inspection. However, the lack of defects does not preclude wear that may not yet meet MOT thresholds, particularly in high-use areas like suspension bushes or brake calipers. The recorded mileage of 36,837 miles over six years equates to approximately 6,140 miles annually, which is typical for a vehicle of this age and class. There are no gaps in MOT testing, and the mileage progression appears steady without abrupt jumps or prolonged periods of inactivity. This suggests the vehicle has been used consistently rather than stored or driven sporadically, which could have masked potential issues. The regular annual testing further implies compliance with legal requirements, though it does not guarantee proactive maintenance beyond the minimum standards. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of suspension components—particularly the rear coil springs and bushes—due to their susceptibility to wear over 36,000 miles. The brakes, while not failed, should be checked for uneven pad thickness or binding calipers, as these issues often develop incrementally. Structural integrity, especially around wheel arches and sills, warrants scrutiny for corrosion, particularly if the vehicle has been driven in wet or salted environments. Tyre condition, though not recorded in the MOT, should be verified for consistent tread depth and signs of uneven wear, as failing twice on tread in some vehicles indicates neglect. Finally, the exhaust system should be examined for leaks or excessive rust, as these are common failure points in older SUVs.
