Mitsubishi Pajero for Export from Dubai

The Mitsubishi Pajero is one of the great export 4x4s, and Dubai is a prime place to source one. Known as the Montero in the Americas and Spain and the Shogun in the UK, it earned its name on rough roads and Dakar stages, and that reputation keeps demand high across Africa, the GCC and Central Asia. If you want to export a Mitsubishi Pajero from Dubai, whether a used car or a low-mileage late unit, this page covers what matters before it leaves the UAE: the specification, buying and shipping, the export steps, model years, paperwork, and destinations.

Vehicle specifications

The Pajero is a full-size 4x4 with a rugged unibody-and-ladder structure and Mitsubishi's Super Select four-wheel drive, which lets you switch between two-wheel and four-wheel drive on the move, with a low range and a rear differential lock for serious terrain. GCC cars came with 3.0 and 3.8 litre V6 petrol engines that many export buyers prefer, alongside the 3.2 litre DI-D turbo-diesel found in other markets, in three-door short and five-door long wheelbases with five or seven seats. Trims run from the well-equipped GLX to the fuller GLS, with leather, climate, cameras and a full safety set on higher grades. GCC cars are built for Gulf heat, a real advantage in hot destination markets, and the Pajero's simple mechanicals are easy to service almost anywhere. Production ended in 2021, so most export stock is used, with the occasional late or final-edition car; confirm the exact engine, seat count and specification against the VIN before you buy.

Mitsubishi Pajero Export Dubai: logistics and buying process

On OneClickDrive you deal directly with the seller. To buy a Mitsubishi Pajero for export from Dubai, browse the live listings, filter by year, mileage and budget, then contact Dubai's Mitsubishi Pajero export dealers by phone, WhatsApp or callback. There is no agent in between and no commission added. Before you commit, ask for current photos and confirm the spec, mileage, VIN and that the car can be exported. Once you agree a price, shipping depends on the destination. For overseas markets the car usually leaves through Jebel Ali Port, either by RoRo (cheaper for a single running car) or in a container (better protection, and worth it for several cars at once). For nearby GCC markets, many cars are driven out on temporary export plates. The seller, or a forwarder they work with, arranges the booking, customs filing and bill of lading.

Step by step:

1. Choose your variant: GLX or GLS, 3.0 or 3.8 V6 petrol or 3.2 diesel, five or seven seats.
2. Confirm the specification: colour, engine, interior and package.
3. Receive an export quotation, including shipping and documentation.
4. Secure the booking with a verified payment option.
5. Delivery worldwide by sea or air freight.

The dealer handles everything from inspection to export documentation and customs clearance.

Export process and requirements

The export process follows a set order, and it differs for used and brand-new cars.

For a used car that is registered in the UAE, first clear any fines or finance, since a car with unpaid Salik, traffic fines or an active loan cannot be exported until these are settled, with a bank No-Objection Certificate (NOC) where the car was financed. The car is then de-registered for export and the RTA issues temporary export plates. The RTA also issues the Export Certificate, which cancels the local registration and replaces the used-car registration card (Mulkiya). The export is declared to Dubai Customs, and GCC destinations need a Vehicle Clearance Certificate (VCC) to register the car on arrival.

For a new car that has never been registered in the UAE, such as a remaining final-edition or old-stock unit, there is no Mulkiya and no RTA de-registration, since there is nothing on the local register to cancel. It moves on the dealer's purchase invoice as proof of ownership, a Certificate of Origin, the Dubai Customs export declaration, a VCC, and the Bill of Lading. Sellers who list export cars handle both routes regularly and can guide you through them. Cars exported out of the UAE are usually zero-rated for VAT when the export is completed and documented in time, and the dealer can confirm how this applies to your purchase.

Available export models and pricing

The Mitsubishi Pajero export price in Dubai depends on the generation, model year, mileage, engine, trim and condition, so the live listings always show current prices as stock turns over. For buyers who export Mitsubishi Pajero Dubai stock as a batch rather than one car, tell the seller the specification and quantity up front, since matched lots take longer to assemble. The range runs from higher-mileage cars that are among the cheapest to export from Dubai, up to low-mileage late units from the final model years. The Pajero holds its value well as a proven overland 4x4, and GCC-spec cars usually cost more than imported-spec ones, while a lower-mileage or higher-trim car is worth more within its age group. Check the model year against your destination's import age limit before you buy.

Required export documentation

Have the right package ready, since a missing item is the most common cause of delays at the port. The list depends on whether the car is used or new.

For a used car (registered in the UAE):

• Original registration card (Mulkiya), the used-car registration document.
• RTA Export Certificate and temporary export plates.
• Bank NOC if the car was financed, plus clearance of any fines or Salik.
• Insurance for the export plates, valid for about 14 days.

For a new car (never registered):

• Dealer purchase invoice as proof of ownership, in place of the Mulkiya.
• Certificate of Origin.

For both: the buyer's passport or Emirates ID (and the seller's ID for a used-car transfer), the sale invoice showing the price and VIN, the Dubai Customs export declaration, a VCC for GCC destinations, and a Bill of Lading for sea freight. Keep the originals and copies, and check your destination's own import rules (age limit, drive side, homologation, and a Certificate of Conformity in some countries).

Key locations and hubs

• Al Aweer Auto Market (Ras Al Khor): Dubai's main used-car and export cluster, where a lot of the Pajero stock is sourced.
• RTA Tasjeel and Al Aweer centres: de-registration, export plates and the Export Certificate.
• Dubai Customs: the export declaration and VCC.
• Jebel Ali Port (JAFZA): the main sea gateway for RoRo and container exports.
• Overland borders: Al Ghuwaifat for Saudi Arabia, and the Hatta or Oman crossings for GCC road exports.
• Souq Al Haraj in nearby Sharjah, another cluster Dubai sellers draw stock from.

Popular export destinations for the Mitsubishi Pajero

Dubai is a major re-export hub, and the Pajero is a long-standing favourite where roads are hard and reliability matters. Africa is the largest market by far: cars regularly go to Nigeria, Ghana, Senegal, Côte d'Ivoire, DR Congo, Cameroon, Tanzania, Uganda, Kenya, Zambia and Angola, and across North Africa to Algeria, Tunisia, Morocco, Libya and Egypt. Many African countries set import age limits and require a pre-shipment inspection, so match the year to your rules.

The GCC and Middle East is the quickest route, often overland: Saudi Arabia, Oman, Kuwait, Qatar, Iraq, Iran, Jordan, Lebanon, Türkiye and Azerbaijan, where a VCC is needed and GCC-spec cars register most easily. South and Central Asia (Pakistan, Afghanistan and neighbours) are steady Pajero markets too. Buyers and re-exporters in Europe and the Americas, where the car is known as the Montero, also source from Dubai, subject to drive-side, emissions and age rules. Whichever the destination, the dealer can match the car and paperwork to it.
