2015 Nissan Elgrand 3.5L Petrol · BA02 AET

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 20 September 2025. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record shows a period of instability in 2025. The car failed two tests on 1 May and 16 September 2025 before finally passing four days later. Because the DVSA record lists no specific defects for these failures, it is impossible to determine if the issues were minor administrative errors or mechanical faults that required rectification. The mileage is high for an eleven year old vehicle, averaging nearly 19,000 miles per year. The accumulation is consistent, with the odometer reading 191,035 miles in March 2022 and rising to 208,140 miles by September 2025. This high usage suggests the vehicle has spent significant time on the road, likely in motorway conditions, which typically accelerates wear on drivetrain components and suspension bushings. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on high-wear mechanical areas. While the MOT history is unusually clean of advisories, the high mileage makes it probable that the dampers, coil springs, and brake discs are nearing the end of their service life. The absence of recorded corrosion is positive, but a manual check of the chassis and sills is necessary to ensure structural integrity has not been compromised by age. Particular attention should be paid to the engine and transmission. The record shows the vehicle covered very little distance between May and September 2025, moving only seven miles. This suggests a period of inactivity or a mechanical issue that kept the car off the road. A thorough check of the oil condition and a test drive to identify any drivetrain hesitation or suspension knocks is recommended.
