- Pajero NT (2008-2011)

Robust, no-nonsense motoring. It goes everywhere I want to go.
Purchased second-hand in 2017 with a ridiculous amount of kilometres on the clock due to the previous owner's work across country New South Wales. But it has turned out to be an excellent purchase. It has, so far at least, been robust. The mechanic says that, provided you keep them regularly serviced, these machines just keep going and going. Currently around 300,000km on the clock and hoping it will go another 100,000 to 200,000 kilometres. I've replaced the odd thing here and there, but never anything urgent (i.e. nothing catastrophic).
They're not for people who want all the mod cons. They're pretty spartan inside and it's a no-nonsense vehicle. But on road or off, it does its job.
Purchased in for $17,500.

My Pajero is my source of income and the way I transport my family around the town. From work, using to transport my clients, school, shopping, beach, road trips the choice is Endless. Such a reliable vehicle and keeps my family safe. Great car for my kids learning to drive with the reversing camera, heated seats, diesel yet quiet for a diesel. Great fuel consumption, especially Highway Kms. Great high level giving you a clearance clear view in the road. All the mod-cons you’d expect, Cruze control, sensor windscreen wipers, Apple car play, electric seats, fog lights, climate control the list is endless. We love our Pajero.

Bought my 2005 GLX 3.2 diesel NP with 290k on the clock. Since then I have driven it to the centre of Australia (Uluru), done heavy sand/beach work, put it through deep (wheel arches high) mud, deep water crossings (bow waving off the bonnet) and it is yet to let me down. It has always pulled me out of all situations so far. Never broken down, super reliable (touch wood) and extremely comfortable to drive over long distances. Considering the weight of this cars it gets pretty good mileage avg 10.5-11/100km. Even with it fully laden with camp ge...
Read morear and extra spare wheels and recovery gear it was pulling around 14-15L/100km through the outback desert. It has good power and still shames some newer model 4x4 in acceleration. Awesome torque with effortless hill climbing. I am running a DP chip, but even with it disconnected it still goes good. The 5 speed auto is the go...so easy to drive. If you are thinking of buying one, don't be too concerned about the amount of k's, but rather how well its been maintained. The 4m41 motors are a great donk. The only caveat is the diesel pump as these have known to fail at some point and are expensive to fix. In saying that, members on forums have reported doing in excess of 400,000km with their original pumps still working fine. I now have 315k on the clock and still runs great. The car handles very well and is stable when cornering at speed. I have to say all in all a great 4x4 for the money as they can be picked up at good prices these days. My advice is to run diesel conditioner in the fuel which will help to keep things lubricated and clean in your fuel system, and improve your fuel economy. I have fallen in love with my Paj, and hope to have a long and happy relationship with it for years to come. LONG LIVE THE MIGHTY PAJERO!- Build Quality

I have owned this car from 2017 and have been using it as a daily drive with periodic off-roading. It has clocked 112k kms this month. While this may not be the most advanced 4wd option in the market, it more than makes up with its reliability and toughness for off-road adventures without trading off its performance on the tarmac. Absolutely no issues this far and a trust worthy partner in my adventures.
Such a shame that it has been retired!

Have owned our Nt RX Pajero for 10 years since new. Has 240000km on clock and have never had a single problem with it. It has towed a caravan throughout outback NT, QLD, NSW and SA and was perfect. My daily ride and very comfortable. 7 seats has been very handy with kids. My L and P plate kids prefer to drive the Pajero rather than our other car a 2019 Mazda 6. Happy to keep the Pajero for another 10 years!

After using other makes for years decided to try a Pajero.
Have had it for about 5 years now.
Its great for towing and cruising.
Its ok for soft off roading but wouldn't recommend it for serious off road terrain.
Its comfortable and has options that others don't have which help when cruising.
The on the run 4 wheel engage option is a real bonus as there is no LSD.
The rear diff lock is also an excellent option and does help if on slippery terrain - providing you have suitable tyres.
It would be nice if the rear windows went all the way down.
Purchased in for $28,000.

I found my 2000 Pajero for this being a 4x4, ultra reliable. Heaps of features for its age, plenty of storage compartments, plenty of room. The 3.5 litre has plenty of towing power and comfortable to drive, great on road and off road for me. I'd definitely buy another.

Car is used for work & leisure. Some off Road driving is undertaken, mainly dirt roads. Have taken previous Pajero to Flinders Rangers. Would recommend change of tyres to All terrain (standard tyres) when car is new are really highway tyres. (Changed to All Terrain at 75% wear. Much better on both dirt roads & off road) Car is disappointing you cannot buy rated recovery points for front. Don't know why! Car is capable in 4wd situation with standard rear diff lock. Only issue is if you get stuck and need to be pulled out forward with no rated re...
Read morecovery points. Tow off road single axle caravan on occasions, can be thirst if pushed into strong headwind. 20 ltrs /100km + Back off =18 ltrs /100 km. Car is daily drive. consumption in built up are 12 ltr / 100 km. At highway speed around 10 ltrs /100km with normal load. Serviced @ 15,000 k via dealer. No issues. Not a bad vehicle. does not have refinement of Toyota but also does not have price tag.Purchased in for $52,000.

Bought this incredible car in 2015 it was a year old. We bought it as a family car and a highway cruiser and it has been amazing. Over the past 6 years we have only had one issue. It is extremely comfortable on the road and the 3.2 Diesel engine is punchy while getting very good fuel economy. This car is leaps and bounds better than the parado in lots of aspects.

This is my 8th Exeed I have owned. I keep buying them because they are so reliable. I do 25000klm a year towing an offroad hybrid van travelling Outback Australia on some of the counties roughest roads and it handles everything extremely well. I am sorry to see the end of the model I believe mid year
