The MITSUBISHI SHOGUN (2007-10) 3DR STATION WAGON 3.2 DI-DC 168 DIAMOND SWB AUTO is a short-wheelbase, three-door, large 4x4 SUV, offering a tougher, more purposeful alternative to ordinary family crossovers. Its compact body makes it easier to manoeuvre than the longer Shogun, while the raised driving position and automatic gearbox suit relaxed, confident journeys. It is best suited to country driving, outdoor trips and carrying people or bulky gear; it suits buyers wanting a sturdy, capable vehicle more than a small, economical commuter. mycarcheck.com recorded 114 look-ups covering 55 different VINs. Data show an average private-sale valuation of £4,100, average recorded mileage of 102,000, and 4.9 previous keepers. Compared with rivals, the Shogun is known for rugged character, a commanding view and four-wheel-drive ability, though running costs may be higher than in a crossover. Its average annual mileage is 5,000; check each car’s history and condition, as individual use can vary.
