2010 NISSAN ELGRAND3.5L Petrol

The most recent MOT test, conducted on 29 December 2025 at 105,902 miles, resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. This continues a remarkable and stable maintenance trend across all five consecutive tests dating back to November 2021. With no advisories or failures appearing at any point, the record indicates the vehicle has been consistently well-maintained and has not shown signs of mechanical deterioration or neglect over the past four years. The recorded mileage history shows a steady accumulation rate, with the vehicle covering roughly 41,584 miles over the forty-nine months between tests, equating to approximately 10,200 miles per year. That figure is above the roughly 6,600 miles-per-year average for a sixteen-year-old vehicle, suggesting heavier-than-average use. The mileage gaps are consistent, although the jump from 80,337 miles in December 2022 to 93,035 miles in December 2023 indicates a notable 12,698-mile accumulation in that single year, which points to regular, sustained driving rather than occasional short trips. A clean MOT history is reassuring, but a pass with no advisories does not constitute a full mechanical inspection. At roughly sixteen years old and past the 105,000-mile mark, a pre-purchase inspection should focus on suspension bushes and coil springs, which commonly degrade with age and mileage, alongside a check of the brake discs and calipers for binding. The underside should be examined for structural corrosion, a typical concern on Japanese imports of this era, and the tester's silence on any issues does not eliminate the need for a thorough independent ramp inspection before purchase.
