The real detail is in the individual vehicle report — MOT history, AI Hunches, mileage timeline, and defect patterns for that specific reg.
The 1987 Nissan Patrol LWB Diesel does not appear in the DVLA's light-vehicle MOT database despite 108 examples being analysed, which means no MOT statistics are available to assess reliability. This is typical for vehicles of this age and type—the Patrol was primarily a heavy-duty commercial and agricultural workhorse, often registered under different testing regimes or used off-road where MOT records don't reflect real-world durability. What we do know is that these diesel-powered vehicles built a reputation for ruggedness and longevity in harsh conditions, though any example you find today will be 37 years old and likely high-mileage. If you're considering buying one, inspect the engine bay and undercarriage thoroughly for corrosion and wear, get a specialist pre-purchase inspection from someone familiar with Patrols, and be prepared for potentially expensive restoration work rather than relying on service history alone.
We have 108 1987 Nissan Patrol Lwb Diesel vehicles on record, but none have light-vehicle MOT history in our data source.
There are a few reasons this can happen:
- Heavy commercial vehicle — trucks, buses and coaches over 3.5 tonnes are tested under the DVSA annual HGV/PSV regime, which uses a separate database not included in our data source
- Imported vehicles — vehicles registered abroad and recently brought to the UK may have no UK MOT history yet
- MOT-exempt — vehicles manufactured before 1986 qualify under the 40-year rolling exemption; some specialist and agricultural vehicles are also exempt
- Never used on public roads — some vehicles are registered but kept off-road and have never required an MOT
