2004 Nissan Patrol 3.0L Diesel · YY04 FGA

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with its most recent MOT passed in May 2026 at 95,032 miles with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent trend of passing tests since 2024, suggesting that previous mechanical and electrical issues have been addressed. The record shows a transition from a period of multiple failures and advisories to a clean, consistent testing history over the last three years. The mileage accumulation is notably low for a 22-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,320 miles per year. The data shows a steady increase from 48,977 miles in 2014 to the current 95,032 miles, indicating regular but light usage rather than long periods of stationary storage. This low-mileage usage pattern generally reduces wear on drivetrain components, though the 2025 record notes an engine conversion performed in 1989, which may require specific technical scrutiny. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the chassis and underbody. The 2014 record indicates the vehicle was coated in paint and underseal, which prevented a full assessment of the chassis and brake pipes, and the 2021 test flagged corrosion on the offside front coil spring mounting. While the 2026 test was clean, the history of corrosion on the silencer box in 2017 and the underseal application suggests the structural integrity of the frame should be verified manually to ensure no hidden degradation exists beneath the coating. Suspension and braking components also warrant attention. The vehicle has a history of anti-roll bar linkage play and minor oil leaks, and it failed in February 2023 due to a lagging offside front service brake and various electrical failures. Although these issues appear resolved based on the subsequent clean tests, a physical check of the suspension bushes, ball joints, and brake caliper operation is advised to ensure the vehicle meets the standard of the recent passing certificates.
