The NISSAN PATHFINDER (2005-10) 5DR SW 2.5 DCI 174 SVE is a substantial, five-door diesel SUV, aimed at buyers needing more space and versatility than a family hatchback. With seven-seat practicality, high-riding driving position and a tough-looking shape, it sits among the larger, more go-anywhere family 4x4s sold in the UK. mycarcheck.com has recorded 417 checks covering 182 different VINs, giving a useful snapshot of used examples. The average private-sale valuation is £2,400, while the average recorded mileage is 149,000 and typical annual use is 6,000 miles. Cars checked had averaged just over five previous keepers, so condition and service history deserve close attention. The 2.5-litre diesel’s strong pull and roomy cabin suit families, trips and towing, while SVE trim brings an upmarket feel. Compared with a road-focused crossover, the Pathfinder feels more rugged and capable, though its size and running costs may not suit all commutes. Check before buying.
