Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle is currently in a stable roadworthy condition. The most recent MOT test on 29 July 2025 at 176,601 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes over the last four years, suggesting a vehicle that has been maintained to a standard that satisfies DVSA requirements without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage accumulation is consistent with the age of the vehicle. It covered 11,237 miles between May 2022 and May 2023, followed by a more modest increase of 5,184 miles by June 2024. The most recent interval shows a further 1,539 miles added over thirteen months. This low recent usage suggests the vehicle may have transitioned from a primary driver to a secondary or utility role. The absence of advisories or failures since 2022 is unusual for a twenty-two-year-old 4x4. While the record is clean, a buyer must physically inspect the chassis and suspension mounting points for corrosion. Nissan Patrols of this era are prone to structural rust that does not always trigger an immediate MOT failure unless the integrity is severely compromised. Check for signs of oil leaks around the engine and drivetrain, as the lack of recorded defects does not account for slow leaks or worn bushings that have not yet reached a failure threshold. Verify the condition of the brake discs and tyres, as these consumables may be aged despite the clean test history.
