Many Russian drivers believe that the Japanese SUV "Mitsubishi-Pajero-Sport" dynamics characteristics are more developed, but this is not so. In fact, the prefix "Sport" indicates that the car is a class below the standard "Pajero". This is evidenced by its reduced cost. At the moment, this car is very popular in the post-Soviet space, and even 20-year-old models can be found on the streets. Their cost, of course, is tempting, and so far there have been no complaints about Japanese quality. But what to look for when buying a used Mitsubishi Pajero Sport with a mileage of more than 100 thousand kilometers? You will learn the answer to this question in this article.
Body condition
In the event that the car has never been involved in traffic accidents in the entire history of operation,the future owner may not worry about the condition of the body. It is especially worth paying attention to the Mitsubishi-Pajero-Sport with mileage, which was produced in the 1990s. This generation of cars has a very durable color, which has been repeatedly confirmed by the reviews of the owners. And even if there is a small scratch on the body, such an SUV will still be protected from corrosion, since its metal is very durable and resistant to rust. Although it is better to play it safe and prime the damaged surface - so the body of your "subcompact" will definitely be invulnerable to water.
If we are talking about "Mitsubishi-Pajero-Sport" with a mileage of 150-200 thousand and an age of 5-6 years, then you have to be very careful. The 2000 generation of SUVs have a lower quality paint job, and if there is not a single rust on the body, you can be sure that such a car has been repainted.
What concerns might be hiding under the hood?
Most often such SUVs for the Russian market were equipped with two engines. Among them are a 3-liter gasoline engine and a 2.5-liter turbodiesel. If you are offered other units, namely an engine with a capacity of 197 "horses" and a volume of 3500 cubic centimeters, you should know that this is not a real "Japanese", but its American copy called "Montero". Such a power plant is less reliable compared to true Japanese-made engines. By the way, you can meet such a copy on our roads very often. And it doesn’t matter where you bought the Mitsubishi Pajero Sport - in Moscow orYekaterinburg.
Suspension and chassis
The running gear of the SUV is quite reliable, but it cannot be called a standard. For example, silent blocks on them fail every 80 thousand kilometers, therefore, when buying a Mitsubishi Pajero Sport with mileage, be prepared for unexpected expenses. As for the suspension, it was spring until 2000, after which the engineers replaced it with a spring one. In any case, if both parts turn out to be sagging, the cost of replacing them will be very serious.
It is impossible to determine the exact life of the springs, but rest assured - if you buy a Mitsubishi Pajero Sport with a range of 200-250 thousand kilometers, the suspension will soon ask for repair.
