2015 Nissan Elgrand 3.5L Petrol · SS02 ACE

The vehicle maintains a functional roadworthiness status, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test on 19 June 2025 at 174,115 miles passed but introduced advisories for both front tyres reaching the legal limit. This follows a significant failure in June 2024 where the vehicle failed emissions due to high carbon monoxide and lambda sensor readings. While the emissions issues were rectified to pass, the appearance of tyre-related defects suggests that basic consumable maintenance is currently being neglected. At 174,115 miles over 21 years, the Elgrand has averaged approximately 8,300 miles per year, which is consistent with typical usage for a large MPV. The mileage accumulation remains steady, with roughly 2,500 miles recorded between the June 2024 and June 2025 tests, and approximately 2,900 miles between July 2023 and June 2024. This consistency indicates the vehicle is in regular use rather than sitting stationary for long periods, which generally helps prevent the degradation of rubber components and brake fluid seals. A prospective buyer should specifically inspect the windscreen, as damage has been a recurring issue across three consecutive years since 2024. The uneven wear noted on the front tyres in the 2025 test warrants a professional wheel alignment check and an inspection of worn suspension bushes which could be causing premature scrubbing. Given the 2024 emissions failure, a thorough visual check of the exhaust system and oxygen sensors is necessary to ensure the engine remains burning efficiently. Because the vehicle is of age and mileage, a detailed underside inspection for structural corrosion on the sills and arches is essential as these areas were not highlighted in the recent advisories.
