Parts like fog lamps, fog lamp housings, and monikers on the fenders are new and have been bought as new parts from the market. Moreover, the owner also says that he plans to upgrade the alloy wheels and add the new ones available with the current model.

The rear windshield is also new and so is the rear bumper.
He has done a lot of changes to the vehicle and also plans to install a lot of new parts in the future. However, there are a lot of parts from the older Scorpio that has been carried over like the rear wiper motor and many such parts. A lot of work has happened in this vehicle to make it look like the new Scorpio but the overall price of the vehicle is much affordable.
According to the price list shared by him, it costed him around Rs 84,150 to upgrade the vehicle from older-generation to the new generation. This also includes denting work worth Rs 10,000 and Rs 22,000 worth of painting work. The vehicle is converted to the top-end S11 version. The whole project was done in less than 25 days, which is not a long time.
The exact reading of the odometer of this Scorpio is not known yet. However, since it is a diesel engine, you can expect it to work for lakhs of kilometres without much of a problem or issues. Generally, the diesel engines have a life for several lakh kilometres and there are many old generation Mahindra Scorpio models that have covered long distances.
