Help tips when buying Mitsubishi Pajero V20

Hello, I’m a mechanic but I’ve never had a jeep before. It’s about the following: I want a Mitsubishi Pajero V20 u best than 2.5 diesel. Need it for a maximum of 8 months, because I’m going to live in Sweden for this time and want to drive into the terrain from time to time….. Not extreme, but maybe more than a dirt road. Engine? The diesel irritates me, ….. Will cover me with everything that it can survive the winter. It should be an older one because I can help myself and be well informed. What do you think about the Pajero V20 3 door in general? Where are its weak points? Where are the problem zones? Are there better alternative ones? Thanks for the help!
