The MITSUBISHI SHOGUN PININ (2000-06) 3DR STATION WAGON 1.8 GDI ATTIVO AUTO4 is a compact, three-door SUV, offering a smaller alternative to full-sized 4x4s. Its raised stance and practical estate-style shape suit town driving as well as trips beyond paved roads, while automatic transmission makes everyday journeys easier and errands. The 1.8-litre GDI petrol engine and four-wheel-drive character give the Pinin a more adventurous feel than small family cars, though its three-door layout is less convenient for rear passengers. It is best suited to singles, couples or small households wanting a distinctive compact SUV for commuting and weekend trips. mycarcheck.com has only five look-ups covering two VINs, so its figures are indicative rather than representative. They show an average recorded mileage of 38,000 and annual mileage of 1,000, with three previous keepers on average; average private-sale valuation was £800. Against rivals, its compact size and off-road image stand out.
