2020 Mitsubishi Shogun 2.4L Diesel · YN69 BGO

The 2020 Mitsubishi Shogun’s most recent MOT on 2025-05-06 at 81,965 miles recorded a pass, but an identical date also shows a failure with no defects noted. This inconsistency suggests a possible administrative error, though the pass indicates no immediate roadworthiness concerns. Previous tests from 2024-05-09 (79,510 miles) and 2023-06-09 (65,343 miles) were both passed with no defects, establishing a stable maintenance trend. No recurring mechanical issues or structural faults were flagged in the history, implying consistent upkeep. The vehicle’s mileage of 81,965 miles over six years equates to an average of 13,661 miles annually, exceeding typical usage for its age. This rapid accumulation raises potential wear on consumables like tyres and brake components, though no such issues were recorded. The gap between the 2023 and 2024 tests—14,167 miles over 11 months—suggests frequent use, which could accelerate suspension bush wear or drivetrain stress. The absence of corrosion or structural advisories in MOT records is positive but does not eliminate the need for physical inspection. A buyer should prioritise checking suspension components, particularly coil springs and bushes, for premature wear given the high mileage. Brake discs and calipers should be inspected for uneven wear or binding, as these are common in vehicles with heavy usage. Exhaust emissions and corrosion, though not flagged in tests, warrant scrutiny due to the vehicle’s age and mileage. The lack of defects in MOTs is encouraging, but the high annual mileage necessitates a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm component integrity.
