The real detail is in the individual vehicle report — MOT history, AI Hunches, mileage timeline, and defect patterns for that specific reg.
This 1986 Nissan Patrol SWB diesel doesn't appear in the DVLA's light-vehicle MOT database—these older, heavier commercial variants were typically tested under the separate DVSA heavy-vehicle regime, so standard MOT pass rates aren't available for this cohort. The Patrol of this era was built as a rugged utility vehicle for farming, construction, and export markets, designed for durability rather than refinement, and most surviving examples today are either cherished classics or still working in agricultural or industrial roles. If you're considering one, the absence of MOT data means you'll need to rely heavily on the vehicle's service history, a pre-purchase inspection by a specialist, and the seller's maintenance records—these trucks are simple enough to repair if you find a competent diesel mechanic, but running costs and fuel consumption will be substantial by modern standards. Check that any example has genuine provenance and a clear history of regular servicing, as parts availability and specialist knowledge for this generation are increasingly limited.
We have 119 1986 Nissan Patrol Swb 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
