2004 Nissan Elgrand 3.5L Petrol · MH54 OBM

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive approach to repairs rather than preventative care. The most recent test on April 23, 2026, at 129,472 miles, passed with a new advisory for a noisy offside front wheel bearing. This is a recurring issue that was also flagged in both 2023 and 2024, suggesting the component has not been replaced despite multiple warnings and is nearing a point of mechanical failure. At 22 years old, the recorded mileage of 129,472 miles represents a low annual average of approximately 5,885 miles. The data shows consistent, light usage, with roughly 6,000 to 7,000 miles covered between tests from 2023 to 2026. However, this low mileage often masks age-related degradation of rubber-based components, as evidenced by the advisories in 2023 and 2024 regarding all four tyres perishing or cracking due to age rather than tread wear. A buyer must specifically inspect the braking system and front assembly. The vehicle failed its April 2025 test due to rear brake pads being below the 1.5mm limit, indicating that the owner only addressed brakes once a failure was imminent. The persistent offside front wheel bearing requires immediate physical inspection to check for play or excessive heat, as it has persisted for three years. Additionally, the recurring product on the headlamp lenses should be checked for structural degradation to ensure the plastic is not cracked or compromised, which would affect light output.
