2019 Mitsubishi Shogun 2.4L Diesel · WX69 FCE

The current MOT certificate remains valid following a clean pass in October 2025 at 132,069 miles. This result confirms that major mechanical systems function within legal limits at the time of testing. Maintenance standards appear stable over the last three years, evidenced by consecutive passes without new advisories or failures recorded between October 2023 and October 2025. Repairs addressing the suspension and lighting issues logged in 2022 did not recur, indicating that the work performed was effective rather than temporary. Annual usage sits near 19,000 miles per year, exceeding average private driving figures for a seven-year-old SUV. The odometer reading of 132,069 miles signals significant highway or long-distance operation instead of sporadic local use. Testing frequency remained consistent annually from 2022 through to the current record, removing concerns about undisclosed mileage jumps or extended periods without inspection. High mileage accelerates wear on drivetrain mounts and shock absorbers, yet the absence of suspension-related advisories in the latest tests suggests these components currently retain sufficient integrity. Inspect the rear anti-roll bar linkage bushes closely, as these showed wear signs back in 2022. Rubber degradation progresses over time, so verify physical play under load even if the tester noted no excessive movement previously. Check the front offside tyre edge wear pattern for current alignment issues or camber deviation linked to the earlier tread warning. Verify the headlamp aiming mechanism ensures the electrical system remains calibrated, especially if the vehicle carries heavy loads regularly.
