MOT Roadworthiness: Poor

Our Verdict
Proceed with extreme caution. The last r
Prioritise a professional structural inspection by a qualified mechanic. The 2022 MOT failure specifically noted that the rear suspension mounting prescribed areas were excessively corroded, significantly reducing structural strength; this is a major safety issue that usually requires extensive welding. You must verify if these repairs were ever completed and documented.
Additionally, investigate why the vehicle has not been presented for an MOT test since April 2022. Negotiate the price heavily to account for the likely cost of structural repairs and the comprehensive mechanical overhaul required to bring a vehicle of this age and history back to a roadworthy standard.
As a 2.5L diesel, this vehicle will incur higher road tax and fuel costs than smaller SUVs. Insurance groups for the Pathfinder are typically mid-range, but maintenance costs for an older 4x4 can be substantial, particularly regarding the drivetrain and suspension components.
Annual costs will be influenced by the vehicle's age and the potential need for corrective maintenance. Expect higher-than-average spending on consumables like brake discs and suspension bushings, which were flagged as worn in the last recorded test.
The primary focus must be the chassis and rear suspension mountings to determine if the 'excessive corrosion' recorded in 2022 has been rectified. Inspect the nearside rear towbar area, which was also flagged for excessive corrosion.
Check the front suspension for wear, specifically the lower suspension arm pins, bushes, and the offside front shock absorber, which was previously leaking oil. Finally, check the engine bay for oil leaks and ensure the tyres fitted to each axle are of the same size, as mismatched tyres were recorded on the offside front in 2022.
This 2007 grey Nissan Pathfinder 2.5L diesel has a concerning history, with its last recorded MOT in April 2022 resulting in a failure at 130,944 miles. The failure included severe structural corrosion to the rear chassis and multiple suspension issues. Given the lack of MOT data since 2022, the vehicle's current roadworthiness is entirely unknown.
The Pathfinder has an average MOT pass rate of 70.2%, with common failures frequently involving headlamps, anti-roll bars, and coil springs.
