my fella has a 3.5td lwb, (also known as the shogun  ) tax, im not sure what it is but it isnt much more than the corsa. fuel wise, well lets put it this way, he wont use it unless he has too  but that is alot bigger than the one your looking at, also parts arnt cheap for them

personal experiece of the older pajero is that there shit, horrid steering, horrid ride, diesals are under powered and tend to bucket out black smoke, there interiors are like a montego

We used to have a 3L v6 petrol SWB shogun, no problems at all, averaged 17MPG though 
The interiors are crap but thats what they are designed for, steering is rubbish on motorways as you have to make constant adjustments to go in a straight line, but thats what it is designed for...to go off road so the steering is vague to reduce vibration though the wheel.
Also a nice proper 2WD, 4WD, low, high transfer box.

It didn't sell well in Spain as "pajero" means "masturbation".  Hope that helps.
