Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and thorough mechanical inspection. While recent MOT results are clean, the history shows a pattern of intermittent failures that suggest maintenance may be reactive rather than proactive.
When viewing this specific vehicle, prioritise a full service history check to see if the issues leading to the 2023 and 2024 MOT failures were addressed through scheduled maintenance or emergency repairs. Given the age and the 2.5L diesel engine, check for any signs of turbocharger wear or fuel system issues that might not always trigger an immediate MOT failure but affect long-term reliability.
Negotiate based on the fact that the vehicle has undergone several recent MOT tests in quick succession. Ensure you verify the timing of the 2024 failure, which occurred just weeks before a successful pass, to understand what specific component required attention.
As a 2488cc diesel SUV, running costs will be higher than a standard hatchback. You should expect relatively high fuel consumption, particularly in urban environments, and a higher insurance group due to the vehicle's size and engine capacity.
Maintenance costs for a vehicle of this age and mileage often include more frequent tyre replacements and brake servicing. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance, are expected to be significant.
Focus your inspection on the areas that typically cause MOT failures in large diesel SUVs. Although the recent records show no defects, the previous failures in 2023 and 2024 suggest there have been issues in the past. Check the suspension components, exhaust system, and braking setup.
Given the 155,816 miles recorded, inspect the underside for signs of corrosion and check all fluid levels. Pay close attention to the diesel engine's performance for any unusual noises or smoke, which could indicate issues that were previously flagged during the MOT process.
This 2007 silver Nissan Pathfinder is a large 2.5L diesel SUV with 155,816 miles on the clock. The MOT history shows a mix of passes and failures, including two failures within a single year (2023 and 2024) despite the mileage remaining relatively stable. The most recent tests in late 2024 and late 2025 show no recorded defects, but the overall record indicates some inconsistency.
No aggregate reliability data is currently available for the Nissan Pathfinder to provide a statistical baseline.
