The MITSUBISHI SHOGUN (2000-07) 3DR STATION WAGON 3.2 DI-D ELEGANCE is a short-wheelbase, three-door SUV, built for buyers wanting a tough 4x4 rather than a car-like crossover. In the UK used market, it sits among off-roaders such as the Land Rover Discovery and Toyota Land Cruiser, with a compact shape. mycarcheck.com has recorded 41 checks covering 31 different Shoguns, a useful snapshot of interest rather than a huge sample. The average private-sale valuation is £2,300, with average recorded mileage of 121,000 and annual use around 4,000 miles. Checks show about 3.6 previous keepers on average, according to available records. Its diesel engine and serious four-wheel-drive character suit rural drivers, towing, outdoor trips and anyone needing access over rough ground; the three-door layout is less convenient for family passengers than a five-door rival. The Elegance offers a purposeful, well-equipped feel, but buyers should budget for fuel and age-related upkeep too.
