Mitsubishi Pajero 2000 reliability and quality

Production year from 2000 to 2003

Unfortunately, the most recent inspection data for this Mitsubishi Pajero is more than 10 years old, but at that time reliability was above average.

During regular inspections from 2004 to 2010 in average failures were found for approximately 7.8 percents of Mitsubishi Pajero.
The most recent data available is for 2010, when the average defect rate for a 10-year-old Mitsubishi Pajero was 8.5 percent, the average for a car that age was 14.7 percent. Thus, in terms of reliability, Mitsubishi Pajero proved to be more reliable than 65% of the other cars tested.

A good used Mitsubishi Pajero could be a bargain - despite its relatively high reliability, it is around 30% cheaper than the average crossovers of a similar age.
