Is the Nissan Pathfinder ULEZ Compliant?
Based on 6,709 MOT tests, around 1% of Nissan Pathfinders still on the road are likely to meet London's ULEZ standards, and about 94% are likely to be charged. For the remaining 5%, it depends on the exact Euro standard or month of registration.
The fuel mix matters: tested cars were 99% diesel. Diesel Pathfinders in the data are mostly from years that are unlikely to comply.

How ULEZ rules apply to the Pathfinder
Cars that miss the standard pay £12.50 for each day they're driven in the zone. Diesels need Euro 6 (most from September 2015).
- Diesel (99% of Pathfinders tested): most cars in our data are from years unlikely to comply.
Pathfinders from 2014 sit on the boundary (5% of those tested): some were built to the required standard before it became compulsory. The Euro standard is sometimes on the V5C logbook, or Nissan can confirm it. Our ULEZ calculator can help.

Buying a used Nissan Pathfinder for London: what the MOT data shows
The Nissan Pathfinders in this data were first registered between 2005 and 2014. 2007 was the most common year, with 1,188 tests (18% of the total), and half were registered in 2008 or later.
Almost every Pathfinder in the data is from a year likely to comply, so age and condition matter more than ULEZ when choosing one. The newest (2014) passed first time 64% of the time at 89,849 miles on average, and the oldest (2005) passed 53% at 144,934 miles.
Whichever year you choose, check the Pathfinder's weak spots. The most common MOT failures were lights and electrics: "not working" (13.9% of tests); suspension: "ball joint excessively worn" (9.4%) and "fractured or broken" (6.1%). The most frequent advisory was "ball joint excessively worn", on 19.4% of tests.
Overall, 53% of Pathfinders passed first time, well below the 71% average for all cars, and they had covered 123,502 miles on average, more than the 73,145-mile average.
