The question
Hi, I was interested in a 1996 Mitsubishi Pajero Junior 1.1, but was wondering are they heavy on fuel and how reliable are they?

Hi Joe,
They’re pretty reliable, the old Pajero Junior, but bear in mind that that’s now a 22-year-old car, so it’s likely to be running into all sorts of wear and tear problems. You’ll basically need to check everything, and if the car you’re looking at has no NCT, be especially wary. Fuel economy’s not great — it’s a relatively heavy, boxy body being propelled by a small, low-tech engine so expect less than 30mpg on average.
