MITSUBISHI · INSURING AN ORPHAN

Mitsubishi Car Insurance

Mitsubishi stopped selling new cars in the UK in 2021, making every Mitsubishi on the road a legacy vehicle. The cars remain solid and their groups modest — Mirage from group 6, ASX mid-teens — but parts pathways and repair times now have an orphan-brand flavour insurers quietly price.

Observed groups are the ABI insurance groups recorded against real Mitsubishi vehicles checked on Motorscan (8 May 2026 – 4 Sep 2026); models with too few checks show the typical range instead. Trim and year decide the exact group — check any reg free above.

Aftersales continues under the UK importer network, so parts exist — but lead times on body panels and model-specific components have lengthened since withdrawal, which extends repair claims and nudges some insurers' pricing. Practical implications: comprehensive cover with a guaranteed courtesy car matters more when repairs run long; agreed value is worth considering on the enthusiast end (Evo lineage); and on used purchases, a history check plus a realistic view of parts-heavy damage (bumpers, lights) beats optimism.

FAQ

Mitsubishi Car Insurance — frequently asked questions

arrow_forward_ios Can I still insure a Mitsubishi normally?

Completely — every mainstream insurer still quotes Mitsubishis, and groups remain modest (Mirage from 6, ASX mid-teens, Outlander PHEV 20–28). The withdrawal affects repair logistics more than insurability.

Slightly and unevenly — longer parts lead times extend claims, which some insurers price in. The effect is small against the usual factors (driver age, postcode, the specific car), and comparison across 130+ insurers finds the ones that don't load it.

Yes — there are so many in the UK that repair knowledge and used parts are plentiful, keeping it one of the easier orphan-brand cars to cover. Check the individual car's history; early PHEVs are now old enough for battery condition to vary widely.
