What are the cons of a 2002 Mitsubishi Triton?

Any commercial vehicle as old as this one must be checked carefully for condition as there’s a fair chance that one or more previous owners has used it as its maker intended. If that’s the case, it might have had a pretty hard life.

Check the maintenance handbook and make sure the vehicle hasn’t suffered skipped servicing or other routine maintenance. An overall check can tell you lots, too. Is the tray battered and scratched? Is there a huge tow-bar assembly hanging off the back? Is the vehicle fitted with a winch and rock sliders? All these things point to plenty of hardcore use and may affect the amount of life left in the thing. Which is another way of saying that any commercial vehicle of a certain age must be assessed on its individual merits rather than any rules of thumb.
