Buying a used Pajero in the UAE
Mitsubishi stopped building the Pajero in 2021, so every one on sale in the UAE is now a used car with years of Gulf summers behind it. They remain popular because they are tough and simple, but age, not mileage, is usually what decides their condition.
The name also causes confusion: the Pajero and the Pajero Sport are different vehicles on different platforms. The chassis number settles which one you are looking at.
Pajero generations at a glance
Which generation a car belongs to decides its engine options, its value and what to inspect. The decode confirms it from the chassis number.
| Generation | Years | What to know |
|---|---|---|
| Third generation | 1999 – 2006 | Monocoque body with built-in ladder frame; V6 petrol in the region. |
| Fourth generation | 2006 – 2021 | The last Pajero; 3.0-litre and 3.8-litre V6 petrol in the Gulf, three- and five-door bodies. |
Reading a Pajero chassis number
Pajeros were built in Japan and their chassis numbers begin with JM. The characters that follow describe the model, body and engine, so the decode separates a 3.0-litre car from a 3.8-litre one and a three-door from a five-door.
A Pajero Sport decodes as a Pajero Sport. If an advert says Pajero and the decode says otherwise, you have found a mistake — or a reason to walk away.

Before you pay for a used Pajero
Five checks that take less time than the test drive. Start with the chassis number, and if anything does not add up, book an independent inspection before you pay.
- 1
Judge the car by its age
Rubber bushes, hoses, door seals and air-conditioning components age in the heat regardless of mileage. Budget for them.
- 2
Test the four-wheel-drive system
Engage each drive mode on the test drive and make sure the dashboard confirms every change.
- 3
Confirm the engine size
The decode confirms whether the car has the 3.0-litre or 3.8-litre V6.
- 4
Match the chassis number
Registration card, windscreen plate, door-pillar label and frame stamping must agree.
- 5
Check open recalls
Use the recall list in the full report and ask a dealer to confirm the work was done.
