2020 Mitsubishi Shogun 2.4L Diesel · SN70 AFA

The 2020 Mitsubishi Shogun presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on its most recent MOT on 2025-12-16 at 43,419 miles, which resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. However, a prior failure on 2025-12-15 at the same mileage raises questions about the testing process, as no defects were logged for either outcome. This inconsistency suggests potential administrative error or a retest scenario, but the absence of recorded faults in the latest test indicates no immediate mechanical concerns. The vehicle’s maintenance history shows no recurring issues, with all prior MOTs from 2024-01-04 (32,801 miles) through 2024-12-19 (37,907 miles) also passing without defects. The mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging 7,236 miles annually. The 2024-01-04 test at 32,801 miles and the 2024-12-19 test at 37,907 miles show steady accumulation, with no significant gaps or spikes. The 2025-12-16 test at 43,419 miles confirms consistent operation, though the identical mileage on the preceding failed test remains unexplained. The MOT record lacks data on consumables like tyres or wiper blades, which could indicate limited inspection scope or a focus on structural components. A buyer should verify the reason for the 2025-12-15 failure, as unresolved issues might persist despite the subsequent pass. While no defects were recorded, the vehicle’s age and mileage warrant scrutiny of suspension components, such as bushes and coil springs, which degrade over time. Brake systems, including calipers and discs, should also be inspected for wear, as these are common failure points in older vehicles. Structural integrity and exhaust emissions, though not flagged in the record, remain critical areas to assess during a physical inspection.
