MITSUBISHI SHOGUN PININ (2000-06) is a compact five-door SUV with four-wheel-drive ability, offering a smaller, more town-friendly take on Mitsubishi’s rugged Shogun. In the UK used-car market it is now an older niche choice, appealing to drivers wanting a practical runabout that can also handle muddy tracks and countryside trips. Mycarcheck.com records 1,490 checks covering 763 VINs, a sample of interest rather than a census of every Pinin. Its cars average 88,000 miles and about 4,000 miles a year; the average private-sale valuation is £1,000. The checks show around 4.6 previous keepers on average, so condition and history deserve attention. Compared with road-focused compact SUVs such as the Toyota RAV4, the Pinin stands out for its tougher, traditional four-wheel-drive character and compact size. It suits couples, households and outdoor-minded buyers more than those needing economy or space. Expect an upright drive, but inspect carefully: age, upkeep and fuel costs matter.
