2004 Nissan Elgrand 3.5L Petrol · AR04 XWY

The vehicle currently presents a positive roadworthiness status with a stable and improving maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test conducted in May 2026 at 140,312 miles passed with no recorded defects, continuing a streak of clean results from 2024 and 2025. This progression indicates that any previous mechanical issues identified have been addressed and the vehicle is currently being maintained to a passing standard. The recorded mileage of 140,312 miles over 22 years reflects an average annual usage of approximately 6,378 miles, which is consistent with a vehicle of this age. There is a notable gap in usage between April 2021 and 2024, where the car covered only 513 miles over three years. However, the mileage has increased significantly since 2024, covering over 5,400 miles in the last two years. This recent activity suggests the vehicle has returned to regular use, which often helps prevent seals from seizing and components from degrading. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the rear braking system, given the April 2021 failure for a binding offside rear service brake and pitted rear discs. While these were cleared in subsequent tests, the buyer should check for caliper slider movement or uneven pad wear to ensure the binding issue has not returned. Given the age of the Nissan Elgrand, a thorough check of the chassis for structural corrosion and the suspension bushes is also essential, as these are common failure points for older Japanese imports that may not always trigger an immediate MOT failure.
