My folks had a petrol Pajero. Lasted over 300k KM. Great car, only downside was the turning circle of a tank. And it was thirsty. Just a heads up, Diesel maintenance is expensive. Mazda quoted me 10k in parts alone just to replace the injectors in my Diesel 6. So make sure you allow for a decent maintenance budget in case things do go wrong.
Yeah, I've heard the petrols are thirsty. I don't mind the added cost of a diesel mostly because I'm expecting it, plus for me the added cost outweighs a couple of things.
