2013 Nissan Pathfinder 2.5L Diesel · DE63 GKA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive repairs rather than preventative care. While it passed its most recent test in August 2025 at 52,401 miles, this followed a failure just six days prior. That failure highlighted significant issues including a fractured nearside rear coil spring and play in all anti-roll bar linkage ball joints. The fact that the owner only addressed these suspension components after failing the test suggests that the vehicle is only serviced when strictly necessary to pass the legal MOT standard. The mileage profile is notably low for a 13-year-old Pathfinder, averaging approximately 4,031 miles per year. Between September 2023 at 47,573 miles and October 2024 at 50,480 miles, the vehicle covered fewer 3,000 miles. Such low usage often means less wear on the drivetrain but can lead to the accelerated degradation of rubber components and brake hardware. The time gap between tests is consistent, but the low mileage-to-age ratio suggests the vehicle likely sat stationary for long intervals. A buyer must inspect the suspension geometry and alignment, as the 2025 records consistently flagged all four tyres as wearing unevenly on the edges. This pattern indicates a persistent tracking issue or worn bushings that were not fully rectified despite replacing the anti-roll bar links. The 2023 failure for an inoperative Malfunction Indicator Lamp also points to electrical neglect that should be verified with a diagnostic tool to ensure no hidden faults remain. Furthermore, check for brake caliper corrosion and seizing, as the record shows thin rear pads in 2023 and low-mileage vehicles often suffer from internal brake rust due to disuse.
