2007 Nissan Elgrand 3.5L Petrol · LP57 BWH

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass in May 2026, but the maintenance history reveals a persistent trend of reactive rather than proactive mechanical care. While the most recent test at 135,224 miles addressed a worn front brake disc and an offside rear tyre, these issues mirror faults flagged in every previous tests. The recurring presence of pitted and scored brake discs across three years suggests that the owner only replaces braking components when they reach a failure or advisory threshold. At 19 years old with 135,224 miles, the Nissan Elgrand has averaged approximately 7,100 miles per year, which is consistent with low-to-moderate usage for its age. The record shows steady accumulation, with roughly 6,000 miles covered between May 2024 and May 2025, and another 8,000 miles between May 2025 and May 2026. This consistent mileage suggests the vehicle is used regularly, though the age of the vehicle places significant stress on rubber components and metal surfaces. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the braking system and suspension assembly. The front brake discs have been flagged for pitting and scoring since 2024, indicating potential corrosion or heat damage that could lead to future jud. The nearside rear shock absorber has carried a worn bush advisory since 2024; since this was not noted as cleared in subsequent tests, the condition has likely deteriorated, potentially affecting handling and causing uneven tyre wear. Additionally, the history of tyre-related failures for cuts and edge-wear indicates that tyres are often only replaced when they become illegal, necessitating a thorough check of the remaining tread and sidewalls on all four wheels.
