Quick summary

The 2020 Mitsubishi Shogun has a higher overall defect rate of 111 per 100 vehicles compared to the average of 90 per 100, indicating a 23% increase in issues. Notably, the Shogun performs significantly better in visibility and other minor categories, with defect rates 45% lower than average. However, it faces substantial challenges with brakes, where defects are markedly higher, as well as in steering and body structure, which also show increased failure rates compared to the yearly average. The mileage-related trends indicate a consistent increase in defects as mileage increases, particularly in the higher mileage segments.
