2008 Nissan Elgrand 3.5L Petrol · SB06 ABB

The 2008 Nissan Elgrand presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent DVSA test on 28 January 2026 at 124,939 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Prior to that, the vehicle passed cleanly at 118,250 miles on 17 February 2025. The only blemish in the sequence is a failure on 13 February 2025 at 118,219 miles, which the record shows with no defects listed, suggesting an administrative or presentation issue at the testing station rather than a mechanical fault, given the immediate pass four days later. Annual mileage sits at a modest average of roughly 6,941 miles per year against an 18-year life, with the odometer reading 124,939 miles today. The test history shows gentle accumulation: 106,209 miles in January 2023, 108,818 in January 2024, then 118,250 by February 2025, and 124,939 by January 2026. No gaps exceed thirteen months and no sudden jumps appear. The sparse, clean record across five years implies the previous keeper kept the vehicle lightly used and presented it for timely testing. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and underside corrosion, as the Elgrand's age makes chassis rust a latent risk the MOT advisories never flagged. Suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs warrant physical checks despite the absence of recorded wear, since a clean test sheet does not confirm component life remaining. The February 2025 failure with zero defects points to test centre error, not owner neglect. Given the consistent passes and low annual use, the mechanical care pattern looks responsible. Verify service history and inspect for undocumented consumable wear before purchase.
