2010 Nissan Pathfinder 2.5L Diesel · DF10 AAE

The vehicle currently holds a positive roadworthiness status following a clean MOT pass in April 2025 at 163,349 miles. This result indicates a stable maintenance trend, as the vehicle successfully addressed any previous issues that led to prior failures. While the history shows failures in 2023 and 2024, the most recent inspection with no recorded defects suggests the current owner is proactive in performing necessary repairs to keep the Pathfinder up to legal standards. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a 16-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,200 miles per annum. There is a notable period of activity between November 2023 and November 2024, where the vehicle covered nearly 20,000 miles in just fifteen months. This rapid accumulation places significant demand on heavy-duty components like the suspension and cooling system. However, the gap between the March 2022 test and the September 2023 test shows a period of lower usage which can sometimes lead to dry rot in rubber components. A buyer should prioritize a physical inspection of the chassis and suspension mounting points given the high mileage and the age of the vehicle. Although the recent records are clean, the Pathfinder of this era is prone to structural corrosion in the rear subframe and exhaust hangers. Check for signs of weeping shock absorbers and perished control arm bushes, as the high annual mileage recorded in the last year will likely accelerated wear on these mechanical interfaces. Testing the brake system for uneven wear or caliper binding is also advisable to ensure the recent pass reflects genuine mechanical health.
