2002 Nissan Patrol 3.0L Diesel · OW51 AEF

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status, showing a clean record following a period of mechanical inconsistency. The most recent inspection on 7 March 2022 at 148,345 miles resulted in no recorded defects or advisories. This indicates that the issues previously identified in early 2021 were successfully rectified and the vehicle has maintained a standard that meets minimum safety requirements since the time of that final test. The mileage pattern is consistent with a way used vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 6,181 miles per year. Between January 2020 (141,113 miles) and March 2022 (148,345 miles), the Patrol covered 7,232 miles, suggesting relatively low-intensity usage. The cluster of three tests in February 2021 shows a narrow interval of only 99 miles between the first failure and the eventual pass, which points to the owner being proactive in addressing specific faults quickly rather thanlecting long-term maintenance. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the specific causes of the February 2021 failures, as the record does not Detail the exact mechanical faults. Given the age of this 2002 Patrol, a thorough underbody is mandatory to check for structural corrosion and rust on the chassis and mounting points, which are common failure areas for this model. The buyer should also examine rubber components and suspension bushes for cracking, as low annual mileage can sometimes lead to material degradation through age rather than mechanical wear from use.
