    Nissan Patrol 2016: Potential problems with Y61 engine?

    Nissan Nissan Advice Nissan Patrol Nissan Patrol Advice Nissan Patrol 2016

    Now that it is official that the Y61 Nissan Patrol is coming to an end, is it worth buying the last model? Are the 3.0-litre engines trustworthy, or is it just a grenade waiting to explode as some say?

    It can be a good idea to buy the last model in the line, all the problems have been well and truly sorted out and it's usually the best built. The downside is that it will lose a little more in value when the new model comes out and buyers turn away from the old one. The 3.0-litre turbo-diesel was a problem when it first came out, and we got lots of reports from owners with blown-up engines, but the reports have stopped coming. That suggests the problems have been sorted and the engine is performing well.
