We had a 91 2.5 swb auto to tow the horse trailer, it gave great service and did work hard for its weekly tank full, bro in law tows a caravan, not as heavy as horse and trailer, he's gone through nissan, 2 discos a singsong and a 4x4 in the same time as we have had the paj, so with my experience they are as reliable as any just a bit thirsty

My son had £4k-5k to spend on a 7 seater and I advised him to spend £1.5k on a decent LWB Pajero and the £2.5k left would easily cover the higher fuel consumption and inevitable few spare parts for an old vehicle compared to a newer £4k vehicle. As it turned out the much younger Zaphira he bought instead has not only cost more in spares than I've spent on Paj and Delica in that time but some things are too complex on a modern car for us to do at home so there's more garage costs and some (fuel swirl flaps) appear inherent faults that ought to be recall. Of course it's also not so nice to drive and there's less room.
These are good vehicles and don't need much allowance for being 20 years old.

There's some very good Shoguns/Pajeros out there, but there's also a lot of money pits out there too. Some people no longer service or do any maintenance to their vehicles once the car goes past a certain age or mileage. So buy carefully and pay accordingly.

I bought mine a few year ago knowing it needed work, I paid less than scrap value and done a load of work to get it up to a reasonable standard.

3 year later my Shoguns just passed the 20 year mark and it's proving to be one of the most reliable vehicles I've owned and I've worked it hard and done a lot of miles in the time I owned it. I believe it still has another few years in it yet.

Welcome to the forum Wink

Hi , I just had to say that Pajero's getting on for 20 years old +,they are not the type of vehicle you should be buying if you don't have the ability or the inclination to do the work your self . i was given my 27 year old Mk2 2.5TDI after a couple of years of bugging the farther in law , then i had to spend £800 in parts to put it through its MOT , suspension , cv boots track rod ends 2 x batteries prop shaft joints , all break pipes and a calliper and more , if i had put it into a garage to have the work done the cost would have well exceeded the value of the vehicle , but this is nature of the beast when it comes to owning and running a classic car / truck the Pajero's aren't a special case. Anyone who thinks they can buy a cheap 20 year old truck without having to spend there time working on and treating it to some well earn't new parts for it or prepared to pay a garage to do the work is deluded and then to come onto a forum like this and complain about it is really just showing up there naivety or more to the point stupidity.

i realise this is an old thread but really anyone considering buying an older pajero should read this.
