+ 1 on that. I've got a RA50 3.3 v6 Pathfinder, imported from Oz. It's 18 years old and its got 187000 miles on the clock and it's never cost me more than £100 to get it through its mot. Bomb proof engine and still looks good sitting next to other 4 x 4's. I've also got a 5.7l V8 Jeep Commander and it's proved to be very reliable in the 2 and half years since I bought it. The Pathfinder cost me a grand 6 years ago and the Jeep £8500, money well spent on both cars imo.
Mitsibishi shogun is also worth a look at, just depends on your budget.
