Our Verdict
Exercise significant caution before purc
When inspecting this specific Nissan Pickup, your primary focus must be on the chassis and braking system. The 2021 MOT record shows extensive corrosion on the vehicle structure, suspension spring mountings, and the rear cab/chassis area. You must verify if these issues were rectified with welding or if they have progressed.
Furthermore, the 2023 MOT highlighted multiple corroded brake pipes across both front and rear axles. Ensure that all brake lines have been replaced with new, non-corroded components rather than simply being cleaned or treated. Ask for evidence of recent work regarding the suspension bushes and wheel bearings, as these were recurring points of concern in the 2021 record.
As a 2.5-litre diesel vehicle, running costs will be higher than a standard passenger car. Expect moderate to high fuel consumption, typical for a 2004-era utility vehicle of this size.
Tax and insurance groups for a 2488cc pickup will vary depending on the specific registration details, but generally sit in mid-to-high brackets. Maintenance costs may be higher than average due to the age of the vehicle and the pattern of suspension and braking component failures seen in its history.
A thorough underbody inspection is mandatory. Specifically, look for signs of ongoing corrosion on the chassis and rear cab mountings, as the 2021 MOT noted structural corrosion and mounting issues. Check the condition of the rear exhaust mounting and the suspension spring mountings.
Regarding the braking system, inspect all brake pipes and hoses for any signs of surface rust or deterioration. The 2023 record specifically flagged multiple corroded brake pipes. Finally, check the suspension components, including shock absorber bushes, anti-roll bar linkages, and ball joint dust covers, as these have been frequent advisory items for this vehicle.
This 2004 Nissan Pickup, finished in red, has covered 86,699 miles as of its last recorded MOT in early 2023. While the mileage is relatively low for a 22-year-old diesel workhorse, the MOT history reveals a high volume of advisories and failures related to corrosion, brake lines, and suspension components. Potential buyers should weigh the low mileage against the documented structural and mechanical concerns.
No aggregate reliability data is currently available for this specific Nissan Pickup model to provide a comparative benchmark.
