2014 NISSAN PATHFINDER TEKNA DCI2.5L DIESEL

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a clean MOT pass on 17 January 2026 at 166,547 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable but reveals a pattern of reactive repairs immediately preceding successful tests. The vehicle failed its inspections in January 2026 and January 2025, only to pass a few days or weeks later in both instances. This suggests that faults are rectified specifically to meet legal testing requirements rather than as part of a preventative maintenance schedule. At 12 years old with 166,547 miles, this Pathfinder has covered a significant distance of approximately 13,800 miles per year, which exceeds the national average for a passenger vehicle. The data shows consistent and heavy usage, with nearly 5,000 miles covered between December 2023 and January 2025, and another 5,000 miles in the final fourteen months of ownership. This high-mileage profile places considerable stress on heavy-duty components, particularly the drivetrain, turbocharger, and the complex engine cooling system. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension bushings and control arms, as the high mileage often leads to premature rubber degradation in vehicles of this weight. Given the recent failures followed by immediate passes, a check for binding brake calipers and uneven wear on the discs is essential to ensure the repairs were comprehensive. Attention should also be paid to structural corrosion on the chassis and exhaust system, as high-mileage vehicles exposed to the elements accelerate structural decay that standard MOT tests may not fully capture.
