2005 Nissan Elgrand 3.5L Petrol · CF54 WCZ

The Nissan Elgrand presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on its recent MOT history. The most recent test on 10 July 2025 at 149,733 miles passed with no recorded defects, successfully following a failure just nine days prior. This mirrors a similar pattern seen in July 2024, where the vehicle failed and then passed on the same day, suggesting that the owner is proactive in addressing immediate mechanical failures to maintain a valid certificate. The vehicle's mileage accumulation is consistent with its 21-year-old age, averaging approximately 7,130 miles per year. Between July 2023 and July 2025, the car covered 10,090 miles, indicating a steady usage pattern rather than long periods of neglect or excessive heavy commuting. The interval of only 11 miles between the failure and pass in the 2025 test suggests that the failures were likely related to minor consumable items or adjustments that were rectified immediately rather than systemic mechanical breakdowns. While the clean passes suggest functional upkeep, the age and mileage of the vehicle necessitate a thorough physical inspection of structural integrity and suspension components. Given the age of the Elgrand, a buyer must specifically check for corrosion on the sills and rear mounting points, which are common areas of failure on this model. The rubber bushings in the suspension arms should also be examined for cracking or tearing, as these components often degrade over time regardless of low mileage.
