2007 Mitsubishi Shogun Sport 2.5L Diesel · YA07 YMH

The most recent MOT entry on file is dated 8 July 2024, when the Mitsubishi recorded a pass with no defects or advisories noted at the test. That outcome followed a test one week earlier on 1 July 2024 which was recorded as a failure, also without any specific defect recorded against the entry. Prior to this, the vehicle passed at 14 June 2023 and again at 21 January 2022, both clean of advisories. Taken at face value, the vehicle has a current pass status and is therefore legally roadworthy as of the latest record, though the test is now over two years out of date relative to today, so a fresh MOT is required before the car can be driven on public roads. Mileage data is not supplied alongside each test date in this record, which limits any precise analysis of accumulation rates between tests. The vehicle is nineteen years old and shows 130,215 miles recorded, equating to an average of roughly 6,853 miles per year, a figure consistent with average annual use for a vehicle of this age. With four MOT tests spread across 2022, 2023 and 2024, the testing pattern is reasonably regular but the absence of any mileage readings in the supplied data means gaps or unusual jumps cannot be verified. The lack of recorded advisories across three passes is notable only insofar as it leaves no technical trail of component wear to interpret. The failure of 1 July 2024 is unusual in that no specific defect category is recorded, which makes it difficult to identify the underlying mechanical or structural cause. Common reasons for such failures on high-mileage SUVs of this era include excessive corrosion of underbody or structural components, binding brakes, suspension component deterioration, or emissions exceedance. The subsequent pass one week later suggests the issue was either rectified or was marginal, but without defect details the exact repair cannot be confirmed. A prospective buyer should therefore carry out a physical inspection focusing on the chassis and subframes for corrosion, the rear brake calipers for seizure, the coil springs and bushes for fatigue cracking, and the exhaust system for integrity and emissions compliance. Overall, the limited MOT history shows a vehicle that is currently pass-marked but carries an unexplained recent failure and has no recorded mileage progression to verify. The risk profile sits at a medium level given the age, mileage and the missing defect information from the 2024 failure. A buyer should treat the record as a baseline only and budget for inspection of the areas typical to a high-mileage Mitsubishi of this generation before purchase. Buying score: 55 Risk level: Medium.
