The 2016 Mitsubishi Triton range of configurations is currently priced from $7,990.
Our most recent review of the 2016 Mitsubishi Triton resulted in a score of 7.6 out of 10 for that particular example.
Carsguide Contributing Journalist Tim Robson had this to say at the time: Dimensionally speaking, the Triton is physically the smallest of the current crop of 4x4 style-side pickups, and it shows in the car's relative agility on the road. Its impressively quiet interior and calm ride also play in its favour as well.

This is what Tim Robson liked most about this particular version of the Mitsubishi Triton: Settled, dynamic ride., Impressively quiet cabin., Surprisingly talented off road.

I spoke to Mitsubishi Australia who told me that paint fade is not a common complaint among their customers. There is the possibility that your car could be covered by warranty, but that will all depend on the circumstances of that individual vehicle. That’s not as simple as it having been exposed to high temperatures or UV radiation on a regular basis, either; the car’s entire history will be taken into account including whether it has ever been treated with an aftermarket paint treatment or has had body repairs at any stage.
Mitsubishi’s advice, then, is to take the vehicle to your nearest dealership and have the car examined to assess what the situation is. If that doesn’t satisfy you, you can also contact Mitsubishi Australia’s customer service division to discuss the issue.
For the record, shades of red are historically the worst offenders when it comes to fading and paint degradation. Paint technology has come a long way, but it remains that red pigments do not appreciate Australian levels of heat and UV radiation. In some cases, the original colour of the vehicle can be restored without resorting to repainting and this process can take many forms.

The D-Max is pretty well regarded in the trade for its ability to go the distance, but modern, common-rail diesel technology has shown that a vehicle with fewer kilometres is usually a better bet than one with more. Although they do an amazing job in terms of power, torque, towing and fuel economy, today’s turbo-diesels are pretty highly strung in some ways and really need their maintenance. And the older they get, the more attention they seem to need in terms of new injectors, filters and pumps.
A D-Max with those kilometres might be ready for a pretty big (and expensive) service, too, so make sure your first trip in it isn’t going to be to a workshop. Ultimately, price, condition and service history should steer your decision as they should in any second-hand vehicle purchase. I’d take a vehicle with 150,000km with a full service history over a 60,000km one with no service records.

You can’t, the transmission is sealed and there’s no provision for checking it.
