Looks like someone did a cut and shut with an ML and a Kia Sedona :D

Did a good job on the paint though... Shiny :y

It is a blatant copy of several other 4x4s from various angles , actually it needs & a good wash & polish.

Had no end of Shoguns as hire cars back when the holiday isle of sunny Cyprus had less tarmac.  Being hire cars, none of them were more than 30-40k km.  And all were thoroughly shagged.

Granted, they were hire cars (with the god awful 2.8TD they used to fit), but I'd expect them to withstand the abuse much better.

They stopped doing them in the end, presumably because they were proper shagged after 2yrs, with limited resale value...  ...although coincided with a lot of money poured into the country and improved road infrastructure, so maybe not completely due to the Shogun being shite.  Although we did have a couple of years with big Nissan Non-descripts - a bit agricultural, but far better built and far less shagged than the Shoguns.

An older ML with MoT is about a fifth of that ;)


And it will give you so much trouble that you'll wish that you'd bought a Disco 2, which is not only properly capable but you can actually get underneath the damn thing!  ;D

If the transmission lasted long enough for the car to rust. They're prone to electrical faults and poor quality trim too. All of which make them exactly Merc's equivalent of a Range Rover.

If that's what it'll be (which, given Jimmy's project, it will be) .. why not just buy a Transit and be done with it?

I know, I know - they rust, fall apart etc. But a friend of my other half's has just done exactly that - bought one for £300 and will run it until it falls apart/fails the MOT because he was spending far more than that hiring vans to collect building stuff for his project. And at £300, it's disposable .. just get one with a long ticket on it!

I had 100% considered both the van and pickup options. Van has 2 things against it, the pickup 1.

When doing our current house the omega saved us (conservatively) £2k in skips. I need this vehicle to do the same, and vans/pickups can't be taken into household waste disposal sites.

The second thing against the van is that the project comes with c2 acres which needs  drainage, fencing, pathways etc. So the ability to take vehicle and trailer across a wet field is also high on the agenda. Hence 4x4, which is fine for the pickup, just not (many) vans

The easiest potential compromise is the 3.5T towing capacity. Something with 2-2.5T capacity would most likely do the job. But, for the sake of component longevity (I'm looking for a 3yr life minimum) I'd prefer something that isn't used close to its operating limit for a significant portion of its time.
