2005 Nissan Elgrand 2.5L Petrol · LW55 CCZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a pattern of reactive repairs rather than preventative care. While the most recent test in June 2025 at 170,646 miles passed, it flagged an offside front track rod end ball joint with slight play. This represents a progression from the 2022 and 2023 tests where suspension arm bushes were noted, indicating that steering components are only being addressed once they reach a state of borderline failure. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 8,100 miles per year. Between June 2022 and June 2025, the vehicle covered 35,342 miles, showing a steady usage pattern. However, the failure in June 2022 at 135,304 miles reveals a significant lapse in maintenance, as both front and rear brake pads were found below the legal limit of thickness. This suggests that the previous owner neglected basic consumable items until forced to act by an MOT failure. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the front suspension geometry, as the arm bushes and track rod ends have appeared across multiple years. The 2023 advisory regarding a nearside front outer tyre worn on the edge suggests potential alignment issues or worn shock absorbers that have not been resolved. Given the age of this Nissan Elgrand, the chassis should also be inspected for structural corrosion on the sills and mounting points, as the record focuses primarily on mechanical wear rather than the integrity of the frame.
