2006 Nissan Elgrand 3.5L Petrol · MP55 RWY

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 9 June 2026, confirming its roadworthiness status is compliant with current legal standards. The maintenance trend appears stable following a period of mechanical instability in May 2025. While the most recent test resulted in a pass, the presence of an advisory regarding play in the offside front anti-roll bar linkage indicates that the suspension system is beginning to show signs of age-related wear that will require attention in the near future. The recorded mileage of 145,945 miles over twenty years averages out to approximately 7,300 miles per annum, which is consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this type. The record shows a steady accumulation of roughly 9,000 miles between the May 2025 and June 2026 tests. This consistent usage pattern suggests the vehicle has remained in regular operation rather than suffering from prolonged periods of inactivity, which often leads to seized components or perished rubber seals. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension architecture, specifically checking the anti-roll bar linkages for excessive movement or knocking sounds during a test drive. The failure in June 2026 due to illegal tyre tread depths suggests that the previous owner may have deferred basic consumable maintenance, so a thorough check of the remaining tyre condition and brake pad thickness is recommended. Furthermore, the 2025 failures related to exhaust emissions point to potential issues with the catalytic converter or oxygen sensors. While these were resolved to achieve a pass, ensure the engine runs smoothly at idle and does not exhibit signs of incomplete combustion or a fluctuating exhaust note.
