The Mitsubishi Town H80 (1998-2006) relies on proven but ageing Mitsubishi engine families.

Mitsubishi Town BJ, Wide Body, Soft Top (1998-2006, 4A30 1.8L Petrol)
Failure mileage range
60,000-90,000 miles
Typical failure window

Repair options & estimated costs (UK ranges)
| Repair tier | Dealer price | Specialist price | What it involves | Longevity / suitability |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Minor - Head Gasket Replacement | £1,400 - £1,900 | £900 - £1,400 | Remove cylinder head, replace gasket MB998539, resurface head, refill coolant | Viable only if block is undamaged; 20k-40k mile expectation |
| Full Replacement - Rebuilt 4A30 Engine | £3,200 - £4,100 | £1,800 - £2,200 | Supply & fit rebuilt engine with upgraded gasket, bench-tested, 12-month warranty | Restores like-new reliability; recommended for Town worth £2k+ |
Our recommendation
On a Mitsubishi Town valued at £1,500-£3,000, a full rebuilt engine at £1,800-£2,200 often represents better long-term value than a head gasket repair that may not address underlying cooling weaknesses. We recommend rebuilt units with upgraded components for JDM import owners.
