In Saudi Arabia the Mitsubishi Pajero is the definition of a durable tool — a ladder-frame V6 SUV bought for gravel roads, desert weekends and distances that would break a crossover. We have 9 used Pajeros listed across the Kingdom.
How much does a used Mitsubishi Pajero cost in Saudi Arabia?
Going by what we have actually sold, a 2022 Mitsubishi Pajero averaged SAR 88,000, a 2020 SAR 69,000, a 2018 SAR 56,000, a 2017 SAR 45,000 and a 2016 SAR 40,000. Asking prices across our Kingdom listings run from SAR 37,500 to SAR 91,000.
Which used Mitsubishi Pajero year should you buy?
Buy the newest one you can, anywhere from 2018 to 2021. This generation ran from 2007 until production ended in 2021 with the same V6 and the same chassis throughout, so there is no facelift or platform change to hunt for — no bad early years, no good late ones, just less wear as you go up the ladder. That is unusual and it makes shopping simple.
Is a used Mitsubishi Pajero reliable in Saudi Arabia?
It is the best-reading SUV in our Saudi inspection data at its mileage. The more than 500 Pajeros CarSwitch has inspected in the Kingdom arrive at a median of around 187,000 km, and even so only 37% show previous body or panel repair, against the 59% we would expect for SUVs of the same age and mileage in the Kingdom. Electrical faults appear on 7% against an expected 12%, interior staining on 14% against 19%, tyre problems on 3% against 6%. The Kia Sportage shows panel repair on 47% at far lower mileage. Nothing in the report is a model-wide weakness.
Mitsubishi Pajero or Toyota Fortuner?
The Toyota Fortuner costs a great deal more and shows panel repair on 38% against an expected 47%, so it is the rival on toughness rather than on price. The Hyundai Santa Fe is more comfortable but turns up a mechanical fault on 33% against an expected 26%. For the money the Pajero is the harder-wearing choice.
What should you check on a used Mitsubishi Pajero?
- Transfer case and low range, engaged properly on the test drive.
- Suspension bushes and steering play at high kilometres.
- Underbody and diff housings for off-road impacts.
- Cooling system and AC, both under sustained load.
