Love these videos. Can’t beat the actual realism. Anyone who’s ever looked at private car sales, knows there’re as many different owners as there are types of vehicles.
I had one for 9 years and I must say it was one of the best cars I have ever had, on the last year with 95k I had to replace a feul pipe over the back axle other than that an excellent truck, it was a 52 reg so the tax was just over £300 . Nice one matt !
@@4N50N it is when the car essentially has zero value to depreciate. Which normally is the single biggest cost hit to a car owner. £50 a month in road tax becomes irrelevant when the car is basically free.
I bought one of these new in 2002, in Australia you only got the 2g72 3.0 petrol V6. Wasn't real quick, and pretty thirsty too. Ultra vague steering and not a lot of kit either. Ended up trading it for a '96 80 series LandCruiser with low ks. Now THAT was a car for sure!
Great video pal, I bought one of these a 07 in November 2021, they are called a pajero sport in Ireland and only €333 commercial tax, (2 front seats) mine has leather seats also, I use it for hunting, towing and mucking about in crap weather, I love it! great second vehicle to have even with over 320km on the clock. Some rust on my chassis that needs to be patched and small leak on the diesel tank, but plan on keeping mine for many years to come.
Came across this channel during lockdown last year, I'm hooked the videos are for everyone and all budgets I like it that Matt does older cars to when reviewing, not all of us have budgets for high end cars, excellently produced and informative so keep them coming Cheers
I haven't seen one of these in that good of condition in *YEARS.* They were sold here in the US as the Montero Sport and they were really popular but you almost never see them anymore. Most were petrol V6's that had head gasket issues which generally totalled them out because they didn't hold their value anywhere near as well as the Toyota 4Runner. Neat to see one alive and well!
I try not to comment on your older videos since finding your channel recently, Matt. But this one deserves it. I learned that this SUV is apparently still sold outside of America. Highly controversial vehicle. Know as the Montero Sport in America. (There was a completely different SUV sold along side it just called the Montero.) The Sport during certain model years suffered from horribly excessive roll-over issues that injured many folks. When I say that, I mean even by SUV standards. Massive class-action lawsuit against Mitsubishi. The company pulled a very sleazy move. They stopped selling it, entirely here. (Those model years version that had the issue.) Then had their lawyers file one motion after another, after another.... Delaying the start of the lawsuit proceedings for so many years, that by the time the suit actually began; there were no working Montero Sport models left in America, of those model years. The few that existed, were non-running to an extreme degree. Usually rusting away in junkyards. Unable to get independent testing done on any working examples of the Sport, the Plaintiffs' lawyers were unable to prove that the SUV suffered from horrendous roll-over. Thus the case against Mitsubishi was dismissed. Later versions didn't have that issue. But backlash from the public caused Mitsubishi to pull the SUV entirely out of the U.S.
I had a Shogun Sport as a company car for 3 years...did about 100k in it. It was a 3.0 V6 Auto version. It was a great car and taken off-road countless times. Never got stuck once having switched the standard Bridgestone Dueller tyres for BF Goodrich All-Terrains. Used to regularly warp the front discs - crap quality and very expensive for a non-premium brand (twice the cost of ML discs). I normally get 60-70k out of discs...these needed replacing at every service! That was the only grumble though.
Thanks for the video. I have exactly the same on a 55 plate, its a beautiful 4x4. I also have another one, a Shogun Sport Equippe, 2001 which somehow drives better than the Warrior.
I had a mitsubishi L200 2003, same era and thoroughly enjoyed it. Its fun to drive something agricultural, going for a drive was always an event and it put a smile on my face. Re sloppy drive, mine wasn't, except the first half turn of the steering wheel did absolutely nothing, then it turned very sharply after that. Don't worry about scratches and bumps, it adds to the character. Of course the misses hated it. It was crude, bouncy, loud, especially tiring on long journeys. But I loved it! I sold it 2yrs later for 50e more than I paid.
Wish to find this in my country specifically with a manual, always preferred the simpler tech and boxy body of this generation, it's perfect for the roads here. I daily a vehicle with a non-turbo version of the 4d56 engine, just love the sound of a diesel.
"It's only done 100,000 miles" That's 160,000 km. Here in sunny Japan I scrap vehicles at 100,000 km. It's cheaper than having a major service and the timing belt changed. Jack, the Japan Alps Brit
I will never forget that engine sound. My dad used to have a L200 Trojan. It was a beast off-road. It was a great in town too, no curb too big :,D Good times and great car.
My uncle used to run a mid/late 90s two-tone pajero on chip fat. 2.8td I think it was, brilliant car. Its a shame more people don't run imports. Usually miles better value, there are some hurdles but I'll never buy a domestic car again
It's was call" Mitsubishi Strada G wagon 4×4 in Thailand" in Australia call Mitsubishi challenges some country call Montero sport some call nativa and shogun sports in Thailand have 2.5L.and 2.8L.
Bought a SWB Shogun in '89 and it felt so slow after test driving a Daihatsu Fourtrak Van, but wasn't too bad after it was run in. Had it converted to a van at Mitsubishi UK Cirencester (they didn't offer them off the shelf), ran it as a van for 15yrs then put the windows and seats back in and used it as a family wagon for another 5. Daihatsu were the new kids on the block back then and were half the price of the Mitsubishi, probably should've opted for Daihatsu as it drove really nice and at £9K including the vat was really good value.
I'd be interested in that at auction in Japan. With all those blemishes it will be discounted into the ground. Diesel is a plus with petrol the price it is. Diesel is some 20% cheaper than regular petrol, but if you're only driving some 10,000 km a year it's hardly worth putting out some 400,000 yen for a diesel. I'd expect 80,000 km in Japan. Rack for a ladder would be nice. A tenner for a car wash? In suburban Japan I'd be paying some Stg.1.50. Jack, the Japan Alps Brit
Sticker on air cleaner: "I Wonder what that means?" Gates Powergrip should refer to the cam belt, and Micro-V the auxiliary belt(s). So if those visible are Gates branded you're quids in with the cam belt, assuming it wasn't done too long back. Also surprised you didn't use 4x4 to get out of the mud: good opportunity to check for transfer box and front diff whine. Low ratio too? Great video though Matt.
they still called these the Challenger all the way to the end of the PB Series here in Australia then when the PC came around they took on the name of Pajero Sport. i still drive a Gen 1 PA version of one of these its still pretty nice, being the only traction adding system of 4WD
when i heard the comment about them being owned by horsie people it instantly reminded me that horsie people ruin cars. an example would be my mums 2.0d bmw x3 which we got for 14k . it was perfect but now its battered, dinged and stinks. the wheels are chipping away, its missing a reflector on the boot and theres dents and chips galore. its a late 2014 model and she bought it because she wanted a comfortable car but it just doesnt feel comfortable.
These vehicles are as tough as nails , I've driven them on the worst roads imaginable in Indonesia and they just don't miss a beat and handle whatever is thrown their way . We definitely didn't baby them
Pukka buy that one! Loads of life left in it. Fresh mot, bumper clipped up properly, ebay special in the dash, worth 2500 for a quick flip all day long. Not worth minting up in my humble opinion. Would work for all sorts of people. Field hack. Tip runner or even a green lane project. Great content as usual Matt, thank you
Another honest review. On another matter. Tried entering competition. Can't login. Password reset doesn't work. Tried contacting site and email wouldn't send.
Actually have a real soft spot for these, had afew when I was younger for abit of off-roading. Things will do 99% of a Land Rover but FAR more reliable, only thing I remember negatively was the power…….. **** me they where slow!. Just don’t remaps them, turbos WILL GO POP
Like everyone else I like your style. Agree with Ussman below, any chance of follow ups? Also is there a 'commercial' or ethical reason for not covering cars on your forecourt? (I like the look of the E class estate you have!!!!) Keep up the good work.
Hi Matt I wouldn't spend too much on this vehicle, you've already spent a tenner get it through its MOT then see if it's worth persevering with, that bumper and rusty front wing is likely to blow any profit into the weeds.
I've had the 2005 Sport for 7 years, so the less expensive tax . . . Mine is very much a farm vehicle with proper tyres and extra lighting, and tows heavy trailers. Yes, it's basic, vague, noisy and uncomfortable compared to the Disco that I also drive, but it's more capable, more reliable and doesn't dissolve in the rain, it's first class for my own needs.
They were indeed called Challenger for a brief period in the UK, not entirely sure why they had a name change. They aren't bad vehicles, just quite agricultural as it's essentially an L200 with a different body on top.
I had 57 plate, was sad to see it go...now I have a 2053 plate swb v6 3.5....a tank...you won't be hurt in this in an accident, just be able to afford the petrol having said that it's not bad at 28mpg compared to some same 4x4...they are iron strong and will climb a house.lol.
keep us i the loop as to what happens with the Shogun. also, can you "publish" a list of all your videos just to see what i (we) have seen or not seen taa bob
Drove 5000 km through eastern Europe with one of these. Cost me a fortune. Wanted a big car that would give me some edge in the chaotic traffic. It worked.
Very similar to the Toyota Surf. I had one of those go sideways on me around a mini roundabout. As soon as the turbo light came on, the back end stepped out. Luckily managed to catch it as it did take me by surprise. There are more Shogun Sports to choose from than Toyota Surfs so probably a better bet.
Quite an interesting old bus this one and looks like its got a few more years service left in it. Guess the issue for you is how far to go in tarting up for sale. As a utiity vehicle should think a fair number of people would accept "as is"!
I bought one of these around 8 years ago to use over winter blue at the top silver bottom half think it was a equippe model, was excellent condition but very agricultural to drive like a disco 2
Crazy that it’s tenth of the price of a Defender. Mitsubishi make good vehicles as anyone visiting Asia or Africa will attest In Ireland that rust would fail NCT and cost about €200 to fix
Matt, the Shogun is the perfect car for trip to the woods, just make sure the main beam flash words, wait until dark and you’ll have punters all over it😉
I'd say you'll make some money on that one, Matt. In addition to the obvious stuff, some of those advisories from the previous MOT may need attending to but it should clean up well. And there are plenty of suckers out there who just MUST have an SUV - what, with the school run and all.
My Dad had one of these - absolute money pit! I loved it though. You're lucky you got the owners manual for the Pajero Sport - ours had the L200 one for some reason
Omg we think alike I was looking at a 07 2.5td shogun sport on Saturday never knew it was 600 tax’s s year better drive then the l20o it’s based on good suv tho
Really nice interior it looks very tougg inside and out. I prefer the mitsubishi l200 warrior from this era. Great find these old mitsubishis are very reliable
Depends how rotten the sills are and other chassis bits, and whether there is corrosion near seat belt mounts. If they are no good its a scrapper. Otherwise it might tidy up nicely. My 04 Kia Sorento had had it by 2017 even though I got it welded. I kept it 12 months too long.

Yes, a great, reliable and simple car!
I bought a 2000 XLS about 6 months ago. Been sitting for 3 years. A little work and it was worth the $1200.
A classic of bangernomics. Always liberating to drive around in a car worth essentially nothing.
Especially something like this in the winter. You can rough it up
The tax is worth more than the car 🤣
not bangernomics when the tax is 600 quid ??

@@kevincockburn7805 but you can pick up a car for 1500 quid that's 30 pound a year to tax? So I don't get it
Love these reviews of older cars. Would be nice if you could add a clip of the finished product ready for sale. You have great taste in cars 🙂
It was called a Pajero Sport in most of Europe. The owners manual is correct.
Except in Spain, I hope 😄
@@nicola6323 I'd imagine it was called Montero Sport. They weren't called Shogun in Spain.
Montero sport actually
here in chile, pajero is someone who masturbates over twice a day so they called it the montero
In my country and all center America its called Mitsubishi Nativa 😂.
PD: In Japan is Mitsubishi Challenger.

Got one of these in 2006. 2.8L. Import 😬. Badged as a Mitsubishi ‘Challenger’. N reg. Juicy. But incredibly reliable for an old motor.
Originally called 'Challenger' in the UK too.
Incredibly hot engine to 👍🏽
I wasn't expecting the interior to be that luxurious ... was my first thought at the video started.
In 🇮🇱 it’s called “Pajero”
I think in spanish it means “wanker”
So Mitsubishi decided to call it Shogun at some countries.
😂 That’s quite right
@@HighPeakAutos pajero is this spanish for pikie?
They thought it meant straw merchant but it lol also meant something else.
... and Montero Sport in some others ....
Yet the Audi e-tron means "turd" in French and they couldn't rename it as e-tron refers to the technology of the actual vehicle!
Apologies if its already been said but that sticker on the airbox does relate to the cambelt so might be worth checking again. Great vids btw.

Depends how rotten the sills are and other chassis bits, and whether there is corrosion near seat belt mounts. If they are no good its a scrapper. Otherwise it might tidy up nicely. My 04 Kia Sorento had had it by 2017 even though I got it welded. I kept it 12 months too long.
You need deep pockets mpg and tax tyres and very tiring on a 2 /3 hour drive Had l200 same engine i believe.
Would love one of these, been looking for a decent one as a second moter for ages, nice find!!!
