The quick answer on Pajero prices
Shopping for a used Mitsubishi Pajero in the UAE? The 2020 model is the sweet spot — listed around AED 90,000 in Dubai, about half what it cost new, with roughly 65,000 km on the clock. Older models from 2017 sit closer to AED 42,500. We’ve seen Pajeros sell for around 7.5% below asking, and skipping a car without agency service records can cost you about 14% in resale value later. That’s the formula — here’s everything behind it.
The short version
- Best value year: The 2020 Pajero — nearly half off the new price, still relatively low mileage.
- Budget pick: 2017 models sit around AED 42,500 with about 123,000 km.
- Negotiate: We’ve generally seen Pajeros sell about 7.5% below asking.
- Service history matters: Pajeros without agency records lose roughly 14% of their value.
- Spec tip: Fully loaded trims hold about 7% more value than base models.
Used Mitsubishi Pajero prices by year
The Pajero was discontinued globally after 2021, which means supply is fixed and the newer ones hold their value well. Here’s what you’ll find on CarSwitch right now (CarSwitch listings data, July 2026):
| Model Year | Typical Asking Price (AED) | Price Range (AED) | Typical Km |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2014 | 24,900 | 20,500 – 27,000 | 188,250 |
| 2015 | 32,574 | 28,000 – 35,000 | 165,550 |
| 2016 | 31,500 | 27,000 – 42,074 | 162,753 |
| 2017 | 42,500 | 37,000 – 53,000 | 122,588 |
| 2018 | 56,990 | 45,000 – 69,995 | 105,000 |
| 2019 | 57,500 | 39,000 – 61,990 | 119,161 |
| 2020 | 89,990 | 80,000 – 94,990 | 65,699 |
| 2022 | 91,993 | 82,995 – 94,990 | 64,921 |
A couple of things jump out. The 2020 and 2022 models are priced almost identically — both around AED 90,000 — and both carry similar mileage. If you can find a 2022, great, but don’t overpay for the two extra years on the registration card. And the 2019 is surprisingly close to the 2018 in price, sitting around AED 57,500, though the 2019 sample is smaller so that number may shift.
How much do you save versus buying new?
The Pajero listed new for about AED 175,000 in its final years. A used 2020 model — six years old with roughly 65,000 km — is listed for about half that. Go back to a 2018 and you’re saving close to two-thirds off the original sticker price.
“The Pajero is one of those rare SUVs where the six-year-old version still drives like a proper off-roader but costs half what it did new,” says Kamel Abbou, Country Manager, UAE, at CarSwitch. “That’s why we still see steady demand for them in Dubai.”
2020 Pajero: AED 89,990 used vs AED 175,000 new — 48.6% cheaper (save AED 85,010)
2018 Pajero: AED 56,990 used vs AED 175,000 new — 67.4% cheaper (save AED 118,010)
Pajeros without agency service records: roughly 14.3% lower resale value
What actually moves the Mitsubishi Pajero price
Service history is the big one
A Pajero without agency service records loses roughly 14% of its value compared to one with a full history. On a car listed at AED 90,000, that’s about AED 12,500 gone. If you’re buying, this is the single most important document to ask for. If you’re selling, it’s worth digging out every receipt.
Accident history
A minor accident on record knocks about 8–9% off the price. A clean history, on the other hand, commands a small premium — around 5% above the baseline. Every car on CarSwitch is inspection-verified, so you’ll know exactly what you’re looking at before you visit.
Spec level
Fully loaded Pajeros hold about 7% more value than base trims. That’s the difference between leather seats, a sunroof, and the rear diff-lock versus cloth seats and manual mirrors. If two Pajeros are priced the same and one has more kit, you know which to pick.
Warranty
Cars still under manufacturer warranty carry a premium of about 5%. For the Pajero, that mostly applies to 2022 models with extended coverage. Worth checking, but not worth overpaying for if you can get a pre-purchase inspection instead.
Which Pajero generation should you look for?
Almost every used Pajero on the UAE market is a fourth-generation model (2006–2021). The third-gen (V60/V80) is rare and collector territory. So really, you’re choosing a model year within the same generation.
The 2017–2018 range gives you the facelifted interior with the updated infotainment — a noticeable upgrade over the pre-2016 cabin — at roughly AED 43,000–57,000. The 2020 onwards got some final-run cosmetic touches and usually comes with more features as standard.
If off-roading is the point, look for the 3.8L V6 with the Super Select 4WD system and rear diff-lock. The 3.5L V6 is the more common engine in the UAE. Both are petrol — diesel Pajeros exist but are uncommon here.
Where to buy in the UAE
Prices across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Sharjah are within about 1–2% of each other on a like-for-like basis, so city doesn’t really matter for the Pajero. Most of our used cars in Dubai listings are naturally where the largest selection sits, but you won’t save meaningfully by driving to another emirate.
How fast does the Pajero lose value?
Mid-size SUVs in the UAE hold about 69% of their value at four years old. By six years, that drops to about 40%. The Pajero follows this pattern closely — a 2020 model (six years old) is listed at roughly half the new price, which actually sits slightly above the segment norm. Being discontinued helps. No new supply means used prices stay firmer.
What to check before you buy
The Pajero is mechanically tough, but age and sand take their toll. Here’s what to watch:
- Transfer case and 4WD system: Shift through all modes (2H, 4H, 4HLc, 4LLc) during your test drive. Grinding or hesitation means expensive repairs.
- Timing chain (3.8L V6): Listen for rattle on cold start. Replacement is labour-intensive.
- Rust underneath: Even in the UAE, Pajeros that’ve been through sabkha or coastal humidity can corrode around the chassis and rear wheel arches.
- AC performance: The rear AC system is a known weak point on high-mileage examples. Run it on full for ten minutes.
Every Pajero on CarSwitch goes through a 200-point inspection, so the mechanical boxes are already ticked. But it’s worth doing your own test drive too — nobody knows your standards better than you.

Prices range from around AED 25,000 for a 2014 model up to about AED 92,000 for a 2022. The most popular choice, the 2020, is typically listed around AED 90,000 with about 65,000 km on the clock.
We’ve generally seen Pajeros sell for around 7–8% below the asking price. On a car listed at AED 90,000, that’s roughly AED 6,500–7,000 off. It varies by condition and how long the car has been listed.
Yes, significantly. Pajeros without agency service records tend to be worth about 14% less. On a AED 90,000 listing, that’s around AED 12,500. It’s the single biggest value factor after age and mileage.
Both are priced almost the same — around AED 90,000 — and carry similar mileage. The 2022 is newer on paper, but you’re not getting a fundamentally different car. Pick whichever has the better service history and condition.
