Nissan Patrol (2007)
2007 Nissan Patrol
CarHunch analysed 113 real MOT records for the 2007 Nissan Patrol. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2007 Nissan Patrol falls just shy of the UK average with a 78% first-time pass rate, and nearly 30% of these vehicles have recorded a dangerous defect at some point—a significantly higher-than-normal concern for safety-critical failures. This is a vehicle that demands careful pre-purchase inspection and regular maintenance to stay roadworthy.
At 77,792 miles average, these Patrols are relatively high-mileage examples for their age, yet they average 20 advisories per test, suggesting wear and minor issues accumulate steadily rather than catastrophic failures. Budget for three failures per MOT cycle on average, and have any used example thoroughly checked for suspension, brake, and lighting defects before committing to a purchase.
What to check before buying a 2007 Nissan Patrol
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.
- ⚠️ 29.2% of these vehicles have had a dangerous defect recorded. Enter the reg below — the full MOT history will show exactly what was flagged and whether it was resolved.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
