Mitsubishi Import Value
Mitsubishi offers a diverse lineup from the Mirage city car to the Shogun off-roader. The Outlander PHEV is particularly popular in Ireland as one of the earliest and best-selling plug-in hybrids. The L200 pickup benefits from commercial VRT rates when classified correctly, while the Shogun attracts high VRT as a large diesel 4x4.

- Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV: PHEV relief keeps VRT very low
- Mitsubishi ASX 1.6: Compact SUV with reasonable VRT

Mitsubishi VRT FAQs
How is VRT calculated on a Mitsubishi import?
VRT on a Mitsubishi uses the standard CO2-based system. Rates range from 7% (0-50g/km) to 41% (over 190g/km). The Outlander PHEV (40-50g/km) sits in the 7% band; PHEV relief ended 31 December 2021. Diesel models like the Shogun also attract NOx levies of 500-2,400 depending on emissions.
Which Mitsubishi model has the lowest VRT?
The Outlander PHEV has the lowest VRT thanks to its 40-50 g/km CO2 and PHEV relief, costing just 300-1,500. The L200 pickup at commercial rates (50-200) is also very low. Among passenger petrol models, the ASX 1.6 offers the best value.
What is the NOx levy on Mitsubishi diesel imports?
Mitsubishi diesel imports attract a NOx levy based on NOx output. Older Shogun and L200 models with higher NOx can pay 600-2,400 in NOx levies. Newer models with AdBlue and DPFs have lower NOx output and lower levies. Always factor this into your total VRT calculation.
Is it cheaper to import a Mitsubishi or buy one in Ireland?
Importing from the UK can save 1,500-4,000 for most Mitsubishi models after VRT, customs duty, VAT, and shipping. The Outlander PHEV and ASX offer the best savings potential due to strong UK supply and reasonable VRT rates.
Can I challenge the OMSP on my Mitsubishi import?
What documents do I need to import a Mitsubishi from the UK?
You need the UK V5C, proof of purchase, Certificate of Conformity, ID, proof of address, and insurance. For diesel models like the L200 and Shogun, proof of DPF and AdBlue maintenance is valuable. For PHEV models, battery health documentation is recommended.
Are Mitsubishi parts and service available in Ireland?
Mitsubishi has a network of dealers and service centres across Ireland. Parts availability is good for ASX, Outlander, and L200 models. The Shogun has strong parts support for its off-road community. Costs are generally moderate for a mainstream Japanese brand.
How does Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV VRT relief work?
With CO2 emissions of 40-50 g/km, the Outlander PHEV falls in the 7% band, so VRT is about €1,960 on a €28,000 OMSP. PHEV VRT relief ended on 31 December 2021, so no additional relief now applies to the plug-in hybrid.
