2009 Nissan Elgrand 2.5L Petrol · RA59 TYH

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. While the most recent test in February 2026 at 89,043 miles passed, it revealed advisories for both front tyres reaching the legal limit and showing edge wear. This follows a significant failure in October 2023 where the vehicle presented multiple critical safety-related defects, suggesting that the owner only addresses mechanical faults once they reach the point of a test failure. At 17 years old, the recorded mileage of 89,043 miles is notably low, averaging approximately 5,200 miles per year. The data shows consistent intervals of use, with a roughly 10,000-mile gap between October 2023 and October 2024. However, low-mileage on a vehicle of this age often leads to age-related degradation of rubber components and surface corrosion on stationary metal parts, which aligns with the corroded brake discs and thin pads noted during the 2023 inspection. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system and front-end assembly. The October 2023 failure for exposed cords on a front tyre and thin rear pads indicates that consumable components are being neglected; the recent 2026 advisory for edge-worn tyres suggests alignment issues or worn suspension bushes that require attention. Additionally, the headlamp reflectors flagged in 2024 should be checked for cracks or moisture artwork that could worsen. Given the vehicle's age and low usage, a closeion of the chassis and artwork for structural corrosion is essential to ensure the low mileage has not masked long-term environmental decay.
