How many Nissan Patrols are left in Great Britain?
There were 594 Nissan Patrols licensed in Great Britain at the end of March 2026, and a further 1,463 declared off the road (SORN).
That is 91.1% fewer than the peak of 6,648 in 2001.
2 versions of the Nissan Patrol have their own page.
The figures above include every version; each version page covers only the cars DVLA records
under that version’s name.
There were not enough MOT tests of Nissan Patrols in 2025 to publish reliable figures: we need at least 1,000 tests of cars aged three and over. Cars have their first MOT at three years old, so newer models appear once they reach that age. How we work out MOT figures.
Nissan Patrol registrations over time
Registrations of Nissan Patrols for the first time in Great Britain peaked at 534 in 2004. In 2025, 4 were registered. With almost none registered new, the number on the road is likely to keep falling.

How we use engine sizes.
Nissan Patrol fuel economy and CO2
The Vehicle Certification Agency’s new car data lists the Nissan Patrol from 2000, when the data begins, to 2009. On the NEDC test (listings 2000 to 2009), official combined fuel economy for its diesel versions ranges from 23.9 to 26.2 mpg, with CO2 of 287 to 313 g/km.
Official NEDC figures by engine and fuel, listed 2000 to 2009
Official NEDC figures by engine and fuel, listed 2000 to 2009
Official figures from laboratory type-approval tests. VCA says they may not be achieved in
real-world driving, and should not be used to rank cars with similar figures.
Engine sizes are rounded to the nearest 0.1 litre. A version is one line in
VCA’s data (description, gearbox, engine and fuel), counted once however many years it was
listed.
Matched from VCA’s model names “Patrol”, “Patrol GR - Y61 Series”. How we use VCA’s figures.
Nissan Patrol safety recalls
DVSA lists 7 safety recalls for the Nissan Patrol since 1992, the first in 2010. The most recent was launched on 17 August 2018.
A non-dessicated passenger airbag inflator was used during previous recall to replace this component
Launched 17 August 2018DVSA recall R/2018/100Manufacturer ref. PG8BA / PS8B0
Defect
In 2013 Nissan announced a Recall campaign to replace Takata SPI front passenger airbag inflators. A non-dessicated passenger airbag inflator was used for the replacement. Although there have been no known incidents associated with inflators of this type Nissan has decided to replace all inflators previously repaired with a non-dessicated inflator to a new dessicated version.
Remedy
Replace the front passenger airbag inflator with a new dessicated type.
A recall applies to cars built on particular dates or with particular VINs, not to every Nissan Patrol. The details come from manufacturers through DVSA, which says they may be delayed or
incomplete. To check a specific car, use GOV.UK’s vehicle recall check or ask the manufacturer or a
dealer. How we match recalls to models.
