2001 MITSUBISHI PAJERO 2.5L DIESEL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available history, though the data is now obsolete by sixteen years. The last recorded test in November 2010 at 136,471 miles passed with no recorded defects, suggesting the vehicle was in a good mechanical state at that time. However, because there are no MOT records from 2010 to the present, the current roadworthiness and structural integrity of the Pajero cannot be verified without a comprehensive physical inspection and a fresh test. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a twenty-five-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,400 miles per year. The record shows consistent usage between 2006 and 2010, with the mileage climbing from 106,255 to 136,471 miles over four years. The significant gap in testing data after 2010 indicates the vehicle has likely sat stationary for a long period, which often leads to the degradation of rubber components, perished seals, and internal corrosion of the braking system regardless of the low odometer reading. A buyer must prioritize a thorough inspection of the chassis and suspension members for corrosion, as older Japanese ades are prone to structural rust that worsens over time. The 2007 test identified deteriorated anti-roll bar bushes and an offside front wheel bearing with play, indicating that the suspension geometry was already showing wear years ago. Given the long hiatus in recorded maintenance, the inspector should specifically check for seized brake calipers, perished fluids, and the condition of all tyres which likely have aged beyond their tread depth.
