The MITSUBISHI SHOGUN (2010-15) 3DR SUV 3.2 DI-DC DPF 197 EQUIPPE AUTO5 SWB is a three-door, short-wheelbase 4x4, offering a rugged alternative to ordinary crossovers. In the UK it suits buyers wanting off-road ability and a commanding view, rather than an economical town car. mycarcheck.com has recorded just eight look-ups across six VINs, so these figures offer a small-sample guide. Checks suggest a £6,900 private-sale valuation, 107,000 miles recorded and 6,000 miles’ annual use; vehicles averaged 3.25 previous keepers. Check each car’s history and condition carefully. The automatic diesel Shogun is best for drivers who tow, travel rural roads or enjoy outdoor trips, and can accommodate its size and running costs. Its strong, tough character and short body make it more manoeuvrable off-road than larger SUVs, while rivals such as the Land Rover Discovery offer a more family-focused feel. Expect a purposeful, practical 4x4, not a refined commuter on demanding routes.
