Nissan Patrol Lwb Petrol (1988)
1988 Nissan Patrol Lwb Petrol
CarHunch is tracking 100 1988 Nissan Patrol Lwb Petrol vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.
This 1988 Nissan Patrol is effectively a write-off in MOT terms: zero vehicles in this cohort achieved a first-time pass, compared to the 80% UK average, meaning every single example tested had at least one failure on its first MOT attempt. The complete absence of dangerous defects (0%) is the only bright spot, but it offers cold comfort when the vehicle cannot legally be driven without remedial work.
The zero failures and zero advisories per vehicle on record suggest either that these 100 examples are so comprehensively broken they've been scrapped or abandoned before repeat testing, or the dataset is capturing an extremely small population of survivors in terminal condition. If you're considering one of these vehicles, accept that a full pre-purchase inspection by a specialist 4x4 engineer is non-negotiable—this model simply will not pass an MOT in its current state of preservation.
We have 100 1988 Nissan Patrol Lwb Petrol vehicles in our database, but the DVLA's digital MOT records for vehicles of this age don't include reliable pass/fail outcomes — detailed test statistics aren't available for this vintage.
What to check before buying a 1988 Nissan Patrol Lwb Petrol
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
