AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The most recent MOT record from 18 October 2021 shows a pass, though the vehicle presented specific advisories regarding the suspension and braking systems. The maintenance trend appears stable based on this single recorded entry, as no failures were logged during this specific test. The vehicle has covered 210,186 miles over its 19-year lifespan, averaging approximately 11,062 miles per year. This mileage accumulation is consistent with typical annual usage for a vehicle of this age. There is a significant data gap in the provided record, as no MOT results are documented between October 2021 and the current date of 29 August 2026. A prospective buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the nearside rear anti-roll bar linkage, as the 2021 test flagged slight play in the ball joint. This component requires checking for excessive movement that could indicate worsening wear. The tester also noted a high parking brake lever, which suggests the need to inspect the rear brake shoes, cables, and potentially the drum or disc surfaces for adjustment issues or binding. Given the age and high mileage, a thorough check of the chassis for structural corrosion and the condition of all suspension bushes and coil springs is necessary. The lack of recent MOT data means the current mechanical state of the braking system and exhaust emissions cannot be verified from these records alone. buying_score: 65 risk_level: Medium.

Our Verdict

Proceed with caution due to the high mileage and limited recent MOT documentation. While the last recorded test was clean, the vehicle's age and distance travelled necessitate a thorough mechanical inspection.

Given that the last MOT was recorded in 2021 at over 210,000 miles, your first priority must be to verify the current MOT status and mileage. If the vehicle has not been tested recently, do not assume it is roadworthy. Ask for evidence of any maintenance performed since late 2021.

Because this is a high-mileage diesel SUV, you should negotiate based on the potential for upcoming major component replacements. Check for a comprehensive service history that includes oil changes and filter replacements, as these are critical for a 2.5L diesel engine of this age. Ensure the 4WD system is fully functional, as this is a common area of interest for Pathfinder buyers.

As a 2.5L diesel, running costs will be higher than a standard family hatchback. Expect higher fuel consumption, particularly if used for heavy towing or off-road driving. Tax bands for a 2007 2.5L diesel are typically mid-range, but you should verify the specific CO2 rating for this registration.

Insurance groups for this model tend to be moderate, but the engine size and vehicle weight may influence premiums. Maintenance costs on a vehicle with over 210,000 miles can be unpredictable, as wear-and-tear items like suspension components, timing chains, and turbochargers may require attention.

Focus heavily on the underside of the vehicle. While the 2021 MOT showed no defects, the age of the vehicle means you must inspect for structural corrosion and chassis integrity. Check all rubber bushings and suspension components for signs of fatigue.

Specifically for this Nissan model, listen for any unusual engine noise that could indicate timing chain wear or turbocharger issues. Given the high mileage, inspect the clutch and flywheel if it is a manual, and check the fluid levels for the 4WD system to ensure there are no leaks.

This 2007 Nissan Pathfinder is a large-capacity 2.5L diesel SUV that has covered significant mileage, reaching 210,186 miles by its last recorded MOT in October 2021. The grey exterior and 2488cc engine suggest a vehicle built for utility and towing. However, the lack of MOT data between 2021 and the current date in 2026 represents a significant gap in the vehicle's documented history.

No aggregate reliability data is currently available for the Nissan Pathfinder to provide a statistical comparison.
