2002 MITSUBISHI PAJERO2.8L Diesel

The vehicle presents a stable level of roadworthiness with a remarkably clean maintenance record over the last five years. The most recent MOT test conducted in December 2025 at 225,694 miles passed with no recorded defects, continuing a streak of clean passes dating back to 2021. This consistency suggests that the previous owners have maintained the vehicle to a standard that prevents minor mechanical or structural issues from triggering an MOT fail. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a diesel vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 9,400 miles per year. Between September 2021 and December 2025, the vehicle covered 6,274 miles, indicating a steady and predictable usage rate. The intervals between tests are regular, with no evidence of long-term stationary periods or sudden spikes in mileage accumulation. The total figure of over 225,000 miles reflects significant mechanical wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, despite the lack of recorded faults. Despite the clean MOT history, the high cumulative mileage necessitates a thorough physical inspection of the structural integrity and heavy-duty components. A buyer should specifically examine the chassis for corrosion corrosion, particularly around the rear arches and mounting points, as these are common failure points for the Pajero generation. Given the age and mileage, the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers should be checked for signs of fatigue or perished that would not necessarily fail a standard MOT test. Testing the brake system for binding calipers or worn discs is also advised to ensure the high-mileage history has not compromised stopping performance.
