Mitsubishi Motors in the UK is encouraging customers to scrap their older, higher-emission vehicle and purchase a new, low-emission Mitsubishi by launching a new scrappage scheme with immediate effect.

Customers trading in a vehicle with EU1 to EU4 emissions specifications, registered before January 2010, are eligible to participate and the largest allowance of £4,000 is given to customers wishing to buy the ultra-low emission Outlander PHEV.

SUV customers choosing the Outlander PHEV will benefit from CO₂ emissions of 41g/km and up to 166 mpg (official combined cycle) and a £4,000 scrappage allowance as well the £2,500 plug-in car grant (PiCG) for a total saving of £6,500.

The Mitsubishi Mirage supermini benefits from a £2,000 scrappage allowance.

The scheme also offers £3,000 scrappage allowance against the ASX SUV and £3,500 on the seven-seat Outlander diesel, and is available from September 23^rd until December 28^th 2017.

Commenting on the new Mitsubishi scrappage scheme Lance Bradley, Managing Director, Mitsubishi Motors in the UK, said: “As we have demonstrated with the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV, we are committed to helping drivers enjoy more environmentally-friendly motoring without asking them to compromise day-to-day practicality and we’re delighted to offer a scrappage initiative that provides an enhanced opportunity for even more customers to enjoy the benefits of a newer, safer, cleaner vehicle.”
