Nissan Patrol — MOT Reliability Overview
The Nissan Patrol has an average MOT pass rate of 79.7%, which is 1.5 percentage points below the Nissan brand average of 81.2%. This is a reasonable result that reflects typical UK reliability standards. Regular servicing and addressing advisories promptly will help keep your Patrol on the road.
The most common reasons a Nissan Patrol fails its MOT are body, cab or chassis excessively corroded at a mounting point, the strength or continuity of the load bearing structure within 30cm of any sub-frame, spring or suspension component mounting (a 'prescribed area') is significantly reduced or inadequately repaired, vehicle structure corroded to the extent that the rigidity of the assembly is seriously reduced. If you are preparing your Patrol for its MOT, checking these areas first could save you a retest fee. Our detailed fault analysis includes estimated repair costs for each failure type.
Before buying a used Nissan Patrol, we recommend checking the full MOT history, write-off status, outstanding finance, and stolen vehicle status. These checks can be done for free using the registration number.
