Verdict
4x4 5 places au coffre de 435 litres minimum, proposé en turbodiesel 2.7 ou 3.2 et en essence V6 3.3 ou 3.5. Aucune panne n'est documentée publiquement pour cette génération dans les sources consultées : les retours publiés manquent, donc un contrôle complet (châssis, boîte, transmission) est indispensable avant achat.

You are importing the car to:
Import penalty (malus) in France
- The CO₂ malus follows the scale of the year the vehicle was first registered, in France or abroad (WLTP or NEDC scale depending on its registration certificate).
- For an imported used car, it is reduced by a flat-rate discount based on its age in months (scheme in force since 1 March 2025). The weight malus also applies on first registration in France.
- Production ended in 2004: a car first registered before 1 January 2015 has no malus.

Check an imported car's history
HistoVec only covers the vehicle's life in France. For a car coming from abroad, a VIN-based report helps spot inconsistent mileage or a reported accident.

Known faults
No fault publicly documented so far, so reliability is not rated. This is no guarantee: have the car checked all the more carefully before buying.
Manufacturer recalls
See the official list on RappelConso (new tab) (French government recall site: category “Automobiles et moyens de déplacement”, search “Nissan Pathfinder”). A dealer for the brand can also check, using the vehicle identification number (VIN), that recalls have been carried out.
Inspection checklist
Nissan Pathfinder II — inspection checklist
Things to check
- Faire examiner le châssis et les points de fixation sur un pont : c'est un 4x4 ancien, la corrosion est à écarter.
- Contrôler que la transmission intégrale s'enclenche correctement (essai en conditions réelles).
- Sur la version automatique à 4 rapports, vérifier la douceur des passages à froid et à chaud.
- Exiger le carnet d'entretien et le dernier contrôle technique.
- Contrôler fuites d'huile et fumées à l'échappement sur le turbodiesel.
Questions to ask the seller
- Avez-vous le carnet d'entretien et les factures ?
- Le châssis a-t-il été contrôlé ou traité contre la corrosion ?
- Quelle motorisation et quelle boîte, et quels travaux ont été faits sur la transmission ?
Test-drive tip: read the fault codes
A warning light that is off proves nothing: a fault may have been cleared just before the viewing. A Bluetooth OBD2 scanner, plugged in under the steering wheel and read on your phone, shows stored codes and whether all emissions readiness tests have run since the last reset.
