Hi fellow Pajero Owners, I need some insight and advice?

I have always wanted to own a SWB pajero and finally have an opportunity to buy a secondhand one. Please can someone give me some advice insight. The millage is 240k, one owner and full service history. The km is very high for me for a normal car, but I from what I can see online, many secondhand SWB diesel car have 250> km’s on the clocl.
My questions/concerns:
1. Is this high for the year model (240k, 2015 model)?
2. How many kms can these cars go for before breaking or before they need major repairs?
3. At what km should I start looking at replacing parts and which parts?
4. What can I do going forward to take proper preventative care?
5. Any good preventative mechanic in cape town recommendations?

Details for the car:
Year: 2015
KM: 240 000
Full service history
Minimal 4x4 usage
Excellent condition
No accidents

Hi Pieterpajero

These enjines can last a long time.... mine has got just over 700 000 on the clock(2012 model) and I just changed oil and normal consumables. Very important to never miss an oil change.
Block off the EGR, if the EGR switch may not work properly, your enjine will overheat and thus cracking the top
Replace the radiator cap and check that it is working properly regularly.
Change the gearbox oil every 60000km
Check the viscous fan regularly, if it is not working it may result in the enjine overheating.

You can drive and enjoy that Pajero for a very long time.....

Kind regards
