2004 Nissan Elgrand 3.5L Petrol · EG04 AAV

The Nissan Elgrand presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent maintenance record over the last four years. The most recent test on 24 April 2025 at 109,271 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, despite an initial failure on the same day at the same mileage. This suggests a potential administrative error or a minor item that was rectified immediately prior to the retest. Since the 2022 inspection, the vehicle has passed every annual test without advisories, indicating that the mechanical and structural integrity has remained maintained. The vehicle exhibits exceptionally low mileage for a 22-year-old, averaging approximately 4,967 miles per year. Between August 2022 and April 2025, the car covered 7,056 miles, moving from 102,215 to 109,271 miles. This slow rate of usage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain components and brake systems, though low-mileage vehicles can sometimes suffer from rubber-based components degrading or brake calipers seizing. The consistency of the annual testing intervals suggests the vehicle has been used regularly rather than left stationary for long periods. A buyer should focus the physical inspection on age-related degradation that the MOT record may not capture. Given the clean history, check the chassis and underbody for structural corrosion, which is a common issue for older Japanese imports regardless of mileage. Inspect the suspension bushes for cracking or tearing, as these perish over time even if not driven frequently. Despite the low mileage, verify the condition of the tyres for age rot and ensure the brake discs are not heavily pitted from periods of low use.
