2019 Mitsubishi Shogun Sport 2.4L Diesel · AY69 AFX

The most recent MOT test on 30 March 2026 confirms the vehicle remains roadworthy at 50,766 miles, with no defects or advisories recorded. This represents a stable maintenance trend over the past two years, as all subsequent tests since September 2024 have passed without fail. The September 2023 retest, just two days after a failure, suggests a prompt resolution of any initial issues—though the absence of recorded defects in that cycle means no specific faults were identified. The vehicle’s compliance with emissions and structural checks remains consistent, though the lack of advisories does not preclude hidden wear in components like suspension bushes or coil springs, which often fail without immediate MOT failure. The mileage progression indicates typical usage for its age, averaging around 7,250 miles annually, with no abrupt spikes or prolonged periods of inactivity. The gap between the September 2023 failure and retest (just two days) is unusual but may reflect a minor oversight rather than neglect, as the vehicle was back on the road immediately. The jump from 31,159 to 43,555 miles between September 2023 and September 2024 suggests a period of higher mileage accumulation, which could imply either intensive use or delayed servicing. No extended periods of low mileage are evident, reducing the risk of degraded fluids or seized components from prolonged stagnation. Given the clean MOT history, priority should be given to inspecting high-wear items not directly tested under MOT regulations. The suspension—particularly rear coil springs and bushes—should be examined for uneven sagging or clunking noises, as these often fail between MOT cycles. Binding rear brakes, while not recorded, are a common issue in this model; verify disc runout and caliper pivot flexibility. Corrosion around wheel arches, sills, and the subframe is critical, especially given the vehicle’s age; rust penetration in these areas compromises structural integrity. Finally, the exhaust system should be checked for leaks or sagging hangers, as catalytic converter damage or cracked pipes can occur without immediate MOT failure. The absence of advisories does not guarantee these components are intact, so a thorough mechanical inspection is advised.
