2009 Nissan Pathfinder 2.5L Diesel · RE59 TYT

The 2009 Nissan Pathfinder remains roadworthy, with a stable maintenance trend evidenced by five consecutive MOT passes from 2021 to 2025. The most recent test on 2025-11-05 at 107,533 miles confirmed no defects, aligning with prior results from 2024-11-14 (104,982 miles) and 2023-11-08 (102,122 miles). No recurring issues or escalating faults were recorded, suggesting consistent upkeep. The vehicle’s mechanical systems appear to have been maintained to acceptable standards, with no advisories or critical failures noted across the full history. Mileage progression shows a steady annual increase of approximately 2,500–3,000 miles, reflecting typical usage for a 17-year-old vehicle. The 2021-11-12 test at 97,255 miles to the 2025-11-05 test at 107,533 miles covers a 10,278-mile span over four years, consistent with the calculated average of 6,325 miles per year. No significant gaps or rapid accumulation periods are evident, indicating regular, predictable usage. The absence of defects in all tests suggests no major mechanical degradation, though older vehicles often develop latent issues not flagged during MOTs. A buyer should conduct a detailed inspection of suspension components, including bushes and coil springs, which can degrade over time without immediate MOT failure. Brake systems, particularly rear calipers and discs, warrant scrutiny for binding or uneven wear, as these may not trigger immediate advisories. Corrosion, especially in the underbody and chassis, should be checked, as it can compromise structural integrity. While the MOT history shows no red flags, the vehicle’s age and mileage necessitate a thorough pre-purchase assessment beyond recorded tests.
