Quick summary
Total: 831 cars
The 2019 Mitsubishi Shogun has a higher overall defect rate compared to the average vehicle from the same year, with 125 defects per 100 vehicles versus 106. While it performs better in areas such as steering, visibility, and lights and electrics, it shows significant weaknesses in brakes and body structure, with defect rates notably higher than average. Notably, the model experiences increasing defect rates with mileage, especially in the higher mileage categories, which suggests a trend that may require attention as the vehicle ages. Overall, while the Shogun excels in certain categories, its overall defect rate indicates it is less reliable than its peers.
