The MITSUBISHI SHOGUN (2000-07) 3DR STATION WAGON 3.5 GDI EQUIPPE AUTO is a short-wheelbase, three-door 4x4 SUV, built for buyers who want a substantial, go-anywhere vehicle rather than a compact family hatchback. Its automatic gearbox and petrol V6 give it a relaxed, strong-feeling character, while the Shogun’s upright shape and raised driving position make it easy to see out. On mycarcheck.com, this version has 98 look-ups covering 31 distinct VINs, a useful snapshot of a relatively specialised used 4x4. Checks record an average private-sale value of £1,200 and mileage of 118,000; average annual mileage is 2,000. The typical example has had nearly seven previous keepers, so check its history carefully. Best suited to rural drivers, outdoor enthusiasts and towing, it offers off-road presence beyond a typical family SUV, but its three-door layout limits rear access. Expect higher fuel costs than smaller rivals; condition, maintenance and a thorough vehicle check matter.
