Faults:

Lots, but mostly expensive preventative maintenance, of which the Shogun requires a lot of if you want reliability. The biggest mistake people make buying these vehicles is thinking they are solid 4x4's that will run forever. They can be - but the servicing required will cost you, but it is worth it depending how you use the vehicle. Ours was bought used with history and looked after (essential) and rarely gave us trouble beyond the usual wear and tear, but we looked after it well and didn't go off road as much as these normally do. It had an easy life compared to most.

General Comments:

Expensive to buy and run, the Shogun of this era is a proper 4 wheel drive that will do you good for long drives and the occasional rough terrain adventure.

Huge vehicle, very comfortable inside, spacious. Elegance model has the lot. Leather, electrics.

3.2 diesel moves well enough but only does 27 mpg; poor for diesel, but it is a huge heavy vehicle, and automatic.

Sold it a few years ago, was a great thing to have and we miss it dearly in the family, but other 4x4's nowadays cost a ridiculous amount of money to buy and run, the Shogun was too, but at-least it was doable for people back then.

Faults:

This car only done 50,000 miles, and it had to have a new engine.

It has been fully serviced by a Mitsubishi dealer, and now the car has only done 9,000 with the new engine, and the engine has gone again. The car has only done 59,000 miles, and is onto its third engine.

When they fixed it the first time, I told them to replace the whole engine, but they only changed the block. There are a lot of faults with these engines; I have looked all over the Internet and everybody is saying get rid at 50,000.

The car is nice, but I have been left with a car worth £8000, that is now going to cost me £2000 to fix

Get rid before 50,000 miles.
