2005 Mitsubishi Pajero: petrol or diesel?

Petrol, diesel and hybrid versions go wrong in different ways, so each has its own figures from the MOTs these cars had during 2023–2025. Pick the one you’re looking at: the fuel is on the logbook and in the car’s MOT history.

Diesel 70% pass first time (all 2005 cars: 57%) Stands out: chassis rust or damage 5.6×, engine oil leaks 2.1×, rigid brake pipes 1.8× 647 MOTsSee the diesel guide ›

Petrol and Hybrid versions had too few MOTs for figures of their own, or weren’t sold.
