H58A Pajero Mini: the short version

H58A is the second-generation Pajero Mini, built from 1998 to the enlarged kei dimensions and kept in production well into the 2010s. The 659cc 4A30 four-cylinder carries over, turbocharged in the higher specifications. Mitsubishi sold the same vehicle to Nissan as the Kix for part of its life, which is a reasonable indication of how long the design stayed current.

The clock reads 72,449 miles, roughly 116,600 km on the scale it was built with. Mitsubishi kei vehicles of this era turn up across a broad range of readings and this is squarely within it.

How this one is set up

A kei passenger car is built to the same statutory ceiling as a kei truck — 660cc, 3.4 metres, 1.48 metres — but with the whole package turned toward people rather than payload. Japanese manufacturers compete hard inside those fixed limits, which is why kei cars are so much roomier inside than their footprint suggests.

In the $8,000 to $12,000 band a kei car is normally either a turbocharged specification, a four-wheel-drive one, or a model that was built in genuinely small numbers. The plain hatchbacks sit well below this.
