MOT Analysis

Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

27 MOT tests are recorded for this 1998 Mitsubishi Shogun (S993 DGU) between August 2005 and March 2023.

The record contains 18 passes and 9 failures.

The most recent test on 14 March 2023 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 9 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (22 issues), Lighting (10 issues), Tyres (9 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (7 issues), Bodywork (7 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 53 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.

Recorded failure items include: “Offside Integral body structure or chassis has excessive corrosion, seriously affecting its strength within 30cm of a bo”; “Nearside Integral body structure or chassis has excessive corrosion, seriously affecting its strength within 30cm of a b”; “Offside Front Cab or chassis has excessive corrosion, seriously affecting its strength within 30cm of a cab mounting arc”.
