Are they not well made?


Don,

Actually, one gets a lot for the price. Here is SA, the diesel SUV costs about half the price of the Gen3 Pajero. It is a matter of opinion whether two Mahindras make a Mitsubishi?

The build quality is definitely not that of a Mitsubishi.
Rumour has it that the engine was designed for Mahindra by Peugeot, but I cannot vouch for that. The local dealer says there are very few come backs on the engines (but one would expect him to say that).

The second hand value for all the Indian vehicles (Mahindra and Tata) are very low in SA.
