You can define the route you have described...

        routes.MapRoute(
            "Route", // ShopsToRent/0/B31 5EH/9/0/0/0/0/0
            "{id}/{seo}", // URL with parameters
            new
            {
                controller = "ControllerName",
                action = "ActionName",
                page = UrlParameter.Optional,
                title = ""
            } // Parameter defaults
        );

I personally prefer to have a Keyword at the start of the url as this gives you an additional keyword (eg www.keywords.com/keywords )and allows future additions to the site...

        routes.MapRoute(
            "Route", // ShopsToRent/0/B31 5EH/9/0/0/0/0/0
            "KEYWORD/{id}/{seo}", // URL with parameters
            new
            {
                controller = "ControllerName",
                action = "ActionName",
                page = UrlParameter.Optional,
                title = ""
            } // Parameter defaults
        );
