The MITSUBISHI SHOGUN (2000-07) 5DR STATION WAGON 3.5 GDI ANIMAL AUTO is a large five-door 4x4 SUV, built for space and all-weather ability rather than small-car economy. In the UK used market, it is a rugged family off-roader, competing with the Land Rover Discovery and Toyota Land Cruiser. Mycarcheck.com records 105 look-ups across 20 distinct VINs, a useful snapshot for this older model. The average private-sale valuation is £1,800, with average recorded mileage of 110,000 miles and annual mileage of 3,000 miles. Examples have averaged nearly seven previous keepers, making a careful history and condition check especially worthwhile. The 3.5-litre petrol engine and automatic gearbox suit family trips, towing and outdoor use, while the roomy cabin and driving position add practicality. Fuel-conscious commuters may prefer a smaller SUV, as running costs can be higher. The Animal’s tough, go-anywhere character makes it a distinctive choice for buyers prioritising capability over economy.
