2002 Nissan Elgrand 3.5L Petrol · HS02 WLE

The vehicle is currently in a roadworthy state following its most recent pass on 4 November 2025 at 62,597 miles. The maintenance trend shows a slight decline in mechanical condition over the last three years. While the car passed cleanly in November 2023, the November 2025 test required a failure and subsequent repair to address an excessively worn offside front anti-roll bar linkage ball joint and a faulty rear fog lamp. The mileage is exceptionally low for a 24 year old vehicle, averaging roughly 2,608 miles per year. The record shows a steady but light accumulation of miles, moving from 44,182 in November 2021 to 62,597 in November 2025. This pattern suggests the car has spent significant time stationary, which often leads to the type of surface degradation seen in the braking system. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the braking system. The November 2025 test flagged both nearside and offside rear brake discs as worn, pitted, or scored. Although these were passed as advisories, pitting is a common symptom of vehicles that sit idle for long periods and can lead to premature disc failure or reduced stopping efficiency. The suspension requires scrutiny due to recurring issues with the anti-roll bar linkages. The tester noted slight play in the nearside front linkage in November 2022, and by November 2025, the offside front joint had worn excessively. This suggests a general wear pattern across the front suspension components. Given the age and low usage, checking for perished rubber bushes and signs of chassis corrosion is essential to ensure the structural integrity remains sound.
