Mitsubishi GAP Insurance
If you are looking to protect your latest investment, Mitsubishi GAP Insurance could be your answer!
A well-established Japanese marque with a long-standing reputation for sturdy build quality and off-road credentials, it is no surprise that Mitsubishi’s collection is largely composed of SUVs.
In the past Mitsubishi’s burly, workmanlike qualities have come at the expense of refinement, which may have been a barrier to mainstream success, but recent models reflect a subtle transition towards more elegant styling and comfortable interiors. The influence of Nissan, which recently acquired a large stake in the company, is likely to see that trend continue.
Mitsubishi’s presence in an increasingly crowded SUV market at least draws on long-standing expertise in the four-wheel-drive sector, so you know you’re in dependable hands when it comes to build quality, off-road performance and reliability.
Why do I need Mitsubishi GAP insurance?
If you want truly comprehensive cover for your Mitsubishi, it’s well worth considering GAP insurance in addition to your standard policy.
Many motorists take out insurance without considering what would happen in the event of a write-off. Which is hardly surprising, no one wants to contemplate a worst-case scenario. But it’s important to take into account the possibility and ensure you’re properly protected, after all, around half a million cars are written off every year.
In such circumstances it’s important to realise that, however good your insurance policy, it probably won’t pay out anything like the sum it would take to buy a new like-for-like replacement.
There’s a perfectly good reason for this shortfall, it’s called depreciation.
Most insurers pay out the current market value of your car in the event of a write-off, which is typically a lot less than the original market value or the amount it would cost to replace your car with a shiny new model.
New cars typically depreciate in value very quickly. In fact, you can expect your car’s value to plummet the moment you drive it off the showroom forecourt. After three years it’s likely that depreciation has knocked 60% off the value of your car. So, a £25,000 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross could be worth £10,000 three years after purchase.
Depreciation inevitably impacts on insurance claims. In the event that a three-year-old Eclipse Cross is written off (or stolen). The insurance claim would be based on current market value, which would leave you £15,000 short of the sum required to buy a like-for-like replacement.
