Used Mitsubishi Shogun for sale

Models from 2007 offer strong basics like stability and traction control, side and curtain airbags and a solid body structure. Mitsubishi claims the car is good enough for a four-star safety rating by Euro NCAP, but it hasn't ever officially been tested.

Most recent Shogun models use a 3.2-litre diesel engine. Older generations offered some petrol engines, too, though these will be harder to find. The diesel is sturdy and suited to heavy work like towing, though it can be quite noisy.

Standard kit varies by trim and year. Expect basics like air conditioning and electric windows. Higher trims feature sat nav systems and reversing cameras to assist with parking.

Official figures suggest around 30mpg for later 3.2-litre Shoguns. Real-world use may be a little thirstier, especially if you go off-road or tow regularly. Petrol variants will naturally consume more fuel.

It’s important to check for a full service history, especially given the Shogun’s likely working life. Inspect for rust and wear on suspension and brakes. Don't forget to check that the 4WD system smoothly changes between modes. The AA Vehicle Inspection can offer extra peace of mind before buying.

The Shogun was built to last. It has a great reputation for reliability, even for vintage models from decades ago. Just keep up with regular servicing and pay attention to bodywork corrosion on older models.
