2007 Nissan Elgrand 2.5L Petrol · VT57 DXB

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy condition with a stable maintenance trend over the last three years. While the most recent test in March 2026 at 99,434 miles resulted in a pass, the tester identified oil misting on both the nearside and offside rear shock absorbers. This indicates the onset of seal wear rather than an immediate failure, though it suggests the suspension is beginning to show signs of age compared to previous inspections. The mileage profile is notably low for a 19-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,233 miles per year. Between March 2023 and March 2026, the car covered 12,187 miles, showing a consistent and modest usage pattern of roughly 4,000 miles annually. The single failure in March 2024 at 91,353 miles for a non-functional offside front headlamp main beam was a minor electrical issue that was rectified immediately, as the record does not indicate a pattern of deeper mechanical neglect. A buyer should specifically inspect the rear suspension units in person to determine if the misting has progressed to a significant leak requiring immediate replacement. Given the low mileage, the vehicle should be checked for dry-rot in tyres and perished bushings, which can occur when cars sit stationary for extended periods. The structural integrity of the chassis remains a priority for inspection, though the MOT history has not flagged any significant corrosion or structural advisories in recent years.
