NISSAN PATHFINDER2013 · 2.5L DIESEL

The most recent MOT in August 2025 shows the vehicle passed, but only after failing on several significant defects. These failures included a fractured offside rear coil spring, excessive play in the offside front track rod end, and tyres with tread depth below the legal limit. There is a recurring pattern of issues, most notably a persistent oil leak that has been recorded in multiple tests since 2024. The vehicle's condition trend appears to be worsening; while the 2022 MOT was clean, the subsequent years have seen an increase in both consumable wear, such as brakes and tyres, and more serious mechanical failures in the suspension. The recorded mileage of 70,573 is low for a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 5,400 miles per year. While this suggests lighter use, the presence of perishing tyres and a recurring oil leak may imply that the vehicle has experienced periods of standing or is suffering from age-related degradation of seals and rubber components. A buyer should first inspect the oil leak to determine its source and whether it has been addressed. You should also verify that the suspension repairs for the coil spring and track rod end have been carried out correctly and check all tyres for signs of cracking or perishing.
