Mitsubishi Montero – the Pajero under another name in the van register: from the 2.8 TDI version to the 3.2 DID with direct injection, 73 to 92 kW, unladen weights up to 2.1 tonnes
Montero is the name under which Mitsubishi sells its Pajero SUV in Spain and much of Latin America; the register lists the vehicles under this name, supplemented by Dutch type-approval codes such as V26 or 0NK940 and the door-count codes 3D and 5D. The engine codes denote the specific technology: TDI marks the turbodiesel generations, DID stands for Direct Injection Diesel, Mitsubishi's designation for the later common-rail generation with direct injection, as carried by the 3.2 DID version.

The register lists here 5 versions with 73 to 92 kW from four-cylinder engines of 2,470 to 3,200 cm³ displacement, unladen weights from 1,765 to 2,080 kg, gross weights from 2,510 to 2,580 kg, lengths from 4,120 to 4,550 mm and widths from 1,680 to 1,920 mm.
The Pajero/Montero was among Japan's most successful SUVs from the early 1980s, known for numerous Dakar Rally wins; as the Montero it competed in Spain and Latin America chiefly with the Toyota Land Cruiser and Nissan Patrol.
When buying used, check corrosion on the rear wheel arches and tailgate, the condition of the transfer case and four-wheel-drive clutch, on the TDI and DID diesels the turbocharger and injection-pump technology, and the tightness of the axle boots after off-road use; spare parts run through the regular Mitsubishi network, partly supplemented by importers of Pajero parts.
