Buying a Used Mitsubishi Pajero Sport Malaysia — Checklist
8 key checks: (1) DPF warning light — on dashboard? Ask about regen history. (2) Cold start — white/blue smoke after warm-up = injector or turbo. (3) 4WD engagement — test all modes (2H, 4H, 4L). (4) Transfer case and diff oil condition — have them inspected. (5) ATF condition — dark brown = neglected. (6) OBD scan — P0093, P2002, P0299 are red flags. (7) Under the car — diff seal leaks, underbody damage. (8) Service records — fuel filter every 15,000 km mandatory.
