probably another to steer away from unless it has a good service history and no signs of being neglected. 91 onwards models tend to have fewer problems than the earlier models but are still susceptible to blowing head gaskets and cracking cylinder heads if over-heated. I had a 2.5 Turbo Diesel in my L300 Delica 4x4 with 220,000+kms and it went well enough but I did have a problem with a dribbling injector giving excess smoke on cold starts.

Had a 92 Pajero with 275000ks on it and went well untill sold it to a farmer and he blew the head up,Shotgun blew a hole in the floor and work dogs ate the leather interior.Crashed it through a fence twice and used to put lambs in the back.
