2020 Nissan Elgrand 3.5L Petrol · DC07 KOX

The 2020 Nissan Elgrand presents a currently roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 7 October 2025 at 130,669 miles passed with no defects recorded, following a clean pass on 17 October 2024 at 123,562 miles. The only blemish in the record is a failure on 10 October 2024 at 123,535 miles, which the DVSA entry shows with no defects listed, indicating the vehicle was likely presented prematurely or with incomplete documentation rather than a genuine mechanical fault. No advisories appear across any test, so the documented history shows no worsening condition. The odometer readings trace a high-use pattern for a six-year-old vehicle. From the 20 October 2022 test at 108,658 miles, the car covered 7,373 miles to the 10 October 2023 pass at 116,031 miles, then 7,531 miles to the October 2024 tests near 123,500 miles, and a further 7,107 miles to the 2025 test. That averages roughly 21,778 miles per year, well above typical private-use levels and pointing to sustained motorway or commercial-style operation. The sparse five-entry record with zero advisories means wear items were either replaced before each test or simply not flagged by testers. A buyer should still inspect the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs in person given the annual mileage load. High accumulation like this accelerates consumable fatigue even when MOT passes show clean. The October 2024 failure with no defects recorded warrants a check of the test centre paperwork to confirm it was administrative rather than a concealed fault. Given the absent advisories, previous keepers appear to have maintained basic test compliance, though the unexplained failure suggests occasional lax presentation. The Elgrand's structural integrity and exhaust emissions show no recorded concerns, but a pre-purchase inspection of underbody corrosion and binding calipers remains sensible at this mileage.
