1995 MITSUBISHI PAJERO2.8L Diesel

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the recent MOT history. The most recent test conducted on 10 January 2026 at 128,670 miles resulted in a clean pass, indicating that the vehicle currently meets the minimum legal safety standards. Following a brief failure in late 2022, the vehicle has undergone three consecutive tests without any recorded defects, suggesting that the previous owner addressed immediate issues and maintained a consistent mechanical standard. The mileage pattern is remarkably low for a 31-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,150 miles per year. Between the December 2021 test and the November 2022 test, the vehicle covered 8,139 miles, followed by a much slower interval of just 1,152 miles between November 2022 and December 2023. This low annual usage often correlates with less wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though long periods of standing can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber seals and fluid components that MOT tests may not capture. Despite the clean recent records, a buyer must perform a physical inspection of the structural integrity, particularly the chassis and suspension members, where 1990-era Japanese vehicles often suffer from corrosion. The low mileage does not guarantee that suspension bushes or coil springs have not dried out or perished due to age rather than use. Given the vehicle's age, the buyer should also check brake calipers for signs of seizing or surface rust, as low-frequency use can lead to uneven wear on the discs and drums.
