1998 NISSAN PATROL2.8L Diesel

The 1998 Nissan Patrol presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 9 September 2025 at 107,105 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken run of clean results across the available history. Mileage sits low for a 28-year-old vehicle at 107,105 recorded miles, averaging roughly 3,825 miles per year. The records show gentle accumulation: 100,003 miles on 1 February 2022, 104,746 on 9 February 2023, 106,424 on 6 February 2024, and 107,105 on 9 September 2025. The sparse four-entry history with no advisories or failures suggests either careful light use or long stationary periods, though the absence of flagged wear gives no cause for concern from the data alone. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of age-related items the MOT never flagged. Low annual use and standing time promote corrosion on chassis members, suspension bushes, and brake calipers even when tests pass clean. The Patrol's solid-axle layout hides degraded coil springs or tired dampers that a visual test may miss. Check exhaust emissions hardware, brake disc condition, and structural integrity underneath for rust. The clean record implies basic upkeep was not neglected, but 28 years will have aged rubber and metal regardless of mileage.
