1998 MITSUBISHI PAJERO PAJERO2.8L DIESEL

The roadworthiness of this vehicle is highly uncertain due to a complete lack of MOT data for the past thirteen years. The last recorded test occurred in September 2013 at 182,873 miles, where the vehicle failed with multiple critical defects. Prior to this failure, the maintenance trend showed a worsening pattern of mechanical degradation and corrosion-related issues. Given that no tests have been performed since 2013, there is no documented evidence that the vehicle meets even basic safety or environmental standards in its current state. The vehicle has covered 182,873 miles over approximately 28 years, averaging roughly 6,500 miles per annum. While this usage is typical for an older 4x4, the data stream stops abruptly after 2013. Between November 2010 and September 2013, the vehicle covered approximately 15,000 miles, consistent consistent. The subsequent gap in records suggests the vehicle may have been stationary for a long period or used off the road entirely, both of which significantly increase the risk of rubber perish failure and fluid breakdown. A buyer must conduct a rigorous physical inspection of the chassis and braking system. The history shows a recurring failure for excessive corrosion on the brake and fuel pipes, which indicates a systemic vulnerability to rust in the hydraulic lines. The 2013 failure also highlighted significant issues with anti-roll bar bushes, wheel bearings, and damaged CV joint gaiters, suggesting the suspension components were nearing the end of their service life. The persistent oil leak noted across multiple tests requires a close inspection of engine seals and the sump to determine if the leak has worsened over time.
