2019 Mitsubishi Shogun 2.4L Diesel · WX69 EXO

Based on the DVSA MOT records, this Shogun presents a mixed maintenance profile that has deteriorated notably in its most recent test. The November 2025 pass at 56,949 miles carried four distinct braking advisories, including thin rear pads, front and rear imbalance only just meeting limits, and a binding offside rear service brake. This represents a clear worsening trend compared to the clean bill of health recorded in November 2024 at 46,585 miles. The braking system is now flagged as requiring adjustment or repair, and the binding caliper suggests a developing mechanical fault rather than simple wear. The mileage accumulation is broadly typical for a seven-year-old vehicle, rising from 26,681 miles in November 2022 to 56,949 miles by November 2025, averaging roughly 10,000 miles per year over that three-year window. The progression is steady with no alarming gaps or sudden spikes in usage. There is no evidence of long-term standing or mileage rollback, and the annual increments align with regular daily use rather than neglect or excessive strain. The recurring theme across the record is braking system wear and imbalance. Front pads were flagged as wearing thin in November 2023 at 37,683 miles, and by November 2025 the issue had spread to the rear pads alongside imbalance and binding. This pattern suggests the braking components have been worked hard and may not have been proactively serviced between tests. A buyer should have the front and rear brake discs, pads, and calipers inspected for uneven wear, scoring, or seized guide pins. The binding offside rear caliper in particular warrants immediate diagnosis, as it can cause overheating, premature pad loss, and compromised stopping power. The suspension also merits close attention. Both nearside rear and offside front anti-roll bar linkage pins or bushes were flagged as worn in November 2022 at 26,681 miles. While these did not reappear in subsequent tests, the high mileage since then means these components may have deteriorated further or been replaced without advisory notation. A physical inspection should check for play in the drop links and anti-roll bar bushes, along with any knocking or clunking over uneven surfaces. The overall structural integrity of the chassis and subframe should also be examined for corrosion, particularly around mounting points and suspension pickup areas.
