2006 Nissan Pathfinder SE DCI 174 2.5L Diesel · RNZ 4677

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, though the record shows a significant gap in recent testing. The most recent MOT test conducted in November 2021 at 140,873 miles passed with no recorded defects or advisories, indicating the vehicle met all minimum safety standards at that time. However, with no tests been recorded for over four years, the current mechanical state and structural integrity of the Pathfinder remain unverified. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical annual usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per year. Between February 2018 and November 2021, the vehicle covered 24,328 miles, showing a steady rate of operation. The failure in January 2020 at 134,033 miles, followed immediately by a pass two weeks later at 134,051 miles, suggests a minor issue that was rectified quickly by the owner. The lack of data since late 2021 is the primary concern, as the vehicle may have sat for an extended period or continued to be used without professional safety oversight. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the chassis for structural rust, particularly along the subframes and rear wheel arches where these models are prone to corrosion. Given the age and the interval since the last test, the suspension bushes and coil springs should be checked for perished rubber or fatigue. Since the record lacks recent advisories, a manual check of the brake system for binding calipers or worn discs is essential to ensure components have not degraded through time despite the relatively low mileage count.
