2018 Mitsubishi Shogun 3.2L Diesel · ND67 WTT

The 2018 Mitsubishi Shogun has a recent MOT pass on 2026-01-14, but the same vehicle failed just one day earlier with identical issues, plus a fractured rear coil spring. This suggests unresolved mechanical concerns, particularly with the front anti-roll bar, brakes, and power steering. The 2026-01-14 pass noted worn anti-roll bar bushes, thin offside front brake pads, and a power steering seepage, all of which were also listed in the prior fail. The fractured coil spring in the failed MOT indicates a critical suspension component has failed, raising safety risks. Recurring issues include power steering seepage since 2023, anti-roll bar wear since 2025, and repeated brake pad/disc wear. Tire wear on both rear tires has been flagged in multiple MOTs, suggesting alignment or suspension imbalances. These patterns point to ongoing mechanical stress, likely exacerbated by the vehicle’s high mileage of 120,353 miles over 8 years (15,044 miles annually). This rate of use implies frequent driving, which can accelerate wear on consumables and structural components, though it does not confirm neglect. The trend shows no improvement; the same defects persist across MOTs, and a new critical fault (fractured coil spring) emerged between the two 2026 tests. This indicates either unresolved repairs or progressive deterioration.
