The MITSUBISHI SHOGUN (2000-07) 5DR STATION WAGON 3.2 DI-D CLASSIC is a full-size, five-door 4x4 SUV, built for buyers needing more space and off-road ability than an ordinary family estate. In the UK used-car market it is a rugged alternative to the Land Rover Discovery and Toyota Land Cruiser, rather than a compact, economical commuter. mycarcheck.com records 39 look-ups covering 28 different VINs, a useful but modest snapshot. Those checks show an average private-sale valuation of £1,600 and average recorded mileage of 137,000 miles; average annual mileage is 4,000. The cars had about 4.4 previous keepers on average, so checking each vehicle’s history and condition is especially worthwhile. Its 3.2-litre diesel engine and sturdy feel suit families, outdoor enthusiasts and drivers who tow or travel on rough tracks. Expect greater fuel and running costs than a modern crossover: the Shogun’s appeal is tough, spacious go-anywhere capability, not low-cost town driving.
