2008 Nissan Murano 3.5L Petrol · FE58 OLM

The vehicle is currently in a failed state following the most recent test on 5 June 2026 at 138,681 miles. The maintenance trend shows a significant decline in roadworthiness, moving from passing results in 2024 and 2025 to a high volume of failures in the latest inspection. The tester identified multiple critical issues, including worn rear brake pads, defective headlamp lenses and aim, and failing windscreen wipers. Most concerning is the escalation of suspension wear, which has progressed from minor advisories to outright failures. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 7,700 miles per year. The records show a steady progression from 116,827 miles in May 2023 to 138,681 miles in June 2026. This pattern suggests regular, predictable usage rather than long periods of inactivity or sudden, heavy-duty mileage spikes. The data is sufficiently continuous to track the degradation of specific components over the last three years. A prospective buyer must prioritise a thorough inspection of the chassis and suspension systems. The rear sub-frame was flagged for corrosion in June 2024 and remains a point of concern, despite the 2026 report stating it is not yet seriously weakened. The suspension components show a worsening trend; the nearside and offside front suspension arm rear bushes and the nearside front anti-roll bar linkage ball joint all failed in the latest test after being flagged as worn in June 2025. This indicates a pattern of component fatigue that likely requires significant mechanical attention. Beyond the suspension, the recent failure of the rear brake pads to the wear indicator suggests that consumable maintenance has been deferred. The buyer should also check the condition of the headlamp assemblies and the integrity of the windscreen wiper system. While the tyre issues noted in 2023 and 2024 appear to be resolved or managed, the sudden influx of multiple mechanical and structural advisories in the 2026 test indicates the vehicle is entering a phase of more intensive and costly repairs.
