What is Pajero?
Mitsubishi Jeep. The Pajero nameplate derives from Leopardus pajeros, the Pampas cat. Mitsubishi marketed the SUV as the Montero in North America, Spain, and Latin America (except for Brazil and Jamaica) due to the term “pajero” being derogatory (meaning “wanker”) in Spanish.

How long do Pajero engines last?
Cars like the Pajeros can easily run for 20-30 years and possibly 10 lac km if the right maintenance and spares are available.
Are old Pajeros reliable?
Mitsubishi engines were very reliable, but there were servicing tricks, such as the need to adjust the balance shaft drive chain on four-cylinder donks. Beware of any pre-1998 Pajero with an LPG kit, because the Mitsubishi four-cylinder and V6 engines of the time weren’t designed to operate on gaseous fuels.
Is the Pajero engine good?
Both petrol and diesel engine versions of the Pajero seem to be reliable, although the turbo unit on diesel cars can fail over time and require replacement. This won’t be cheap. Check for any engine blowing blue or black smoke as this can indicate internal wear also.
Why did they stop Pajero?
However, the Mitsubishi Pajero started its steady global sales decline in 2008. Sales halved in the grip of the Global Financial Crisis in 2008 (to 58,000 sales after a spike of 112,000 sales in 2007) and the nameplate never truly recovered.
