1994 Mitsubishi Pajeo 2.8L Diesel · M880 COT

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate following a successful pass on 7 April 2025. The record shows a stable trend over the last four years, with the vehicle passing consecutive annual inspections without any recorded advisories or defects. The failure on 3 April 2025, occurring just four days prior to the successful test, did not result in any logged faults, suggesting an administrative issue or a minor rectification that did not require formal entry into the testing database. At 253,257 miles, the vehicle has accumulated significant distance over its 22-year lifespan. The annual mileage remains consistent with typical usage patterns for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 11,500 miles per year. The absence of recorded advisories across the last five tests indicates that the vehicle has met the minimum legal standards for roadworthiness during these specific inspection windows, though this does not provide insight into the condition of internal engine components or drivetrain wear not covered by the MOT test. Prospective buyers should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the chassis and subframes, as high-mileage Pajeros are prone to structural corrosion that may not be fully captured during a standard test. You must verify the condition of the suspension bushes, ball joints, and steering linkages, as these components often experience accelerated wear at this mileage. Check the braking system for signs of binding calipers or corroded lines, and inspect the underside for any evidence of recent welding or underseal application that could mask long-term oxidation. Buying score: 68. Risk level: Low.
