    Nissan Patrol 2006

    Nissan Patrol 2006

    FROM
    $7,480

    The 2006 Nissan Patrol range of configurations is currently priced from $3,900.

    Carsguide Contributing Journalist David Morley had this to say at the time: It can be if you buy the right one. We’d be very leery of any RD28 or ZD30-powered example, especially if it has covered a lot of kilometres (since many of them are likely to have been in the bush). The 4.2 diesel and six-cylinder petrol versions, though, seem to offer a better package, especially now that the earliest GU Patrols are nearing a quarter-of-a-century on the road. But even the best GU Patrol will not be able to match a modern SUV for comfort, driving dynamics, safety and fuel economy. But if you want to go properly off-road, then a GU Patrol trumps any SUV or Crossover any day.

    The 2006 Nissan Patrol carries a braked towing capacity of up to 3200 Kg, but check to ensure this applies to the configuration you're considering.

    Nissan Patrol 2006 FAQs

    Nissan Patrol 2006: Is it worth buying?

    The vast majority of Nissan Patrols from 2006 have covered a lot more than 172,000km, so that’s definitely one thing in the vehicle’s favour. These seem to be a pretty good thing over time and kilometres as well, but there are still a few things to be wary of. The first of those is how the vehicle has actually been used in the past. Has it been used extensively off-road? Climb underneath and check for damage caused by rocks and try to gauge how hard a life the Patrol has had.

    The other thing to bear in mind is that there were two diesel engines offered in this model. The biggest, a 4.2-litre turbo-diesel is a pretty good thing and tough enough to survive. The smaller unit, though, a three-litre four-cylinder turbo-diesel doesn’t enjoy the same reputation for reliability and longevity. In fact, the smaller diesel is notorious for suffering an incorrect air-fuel mixture and/or turbo-boost spikes which can smash the pistons to bits. At which point the whole engine is junk. Should this happen, you might find that the cost of repairs is more than the actual value of the whole vehicle.

    So that’s the bottom line: If the engine is a six-cylinder, it’s probably worth a punt if it’s cheap enough. If the engine is a four-cylinder, you might be wise to look for an expert on these engines to examine it and give a recommendation in person.

    This model Patrol was also entangled in the Takata air-bag fiasco, so make sure the air-bags have been checked and replaced if necessary before driving it anywhere.

    Nissan Patrol 2006: How much is it worth?

    That’s an awful lot of money for a 2006 Nissan Patrol, Heather, but there are a couple of mitigating factors. The first is the incredibly low mileage and if there’s a GU Patrol out there with fewer kilometres showing, then I’d be a bit surprised.

    The second thing in the car’s favour is that it has the mighty 4.8-litre petrol six-cylinder engine which is one of the best towing engines ever made for a passenger vehicle. A Patrol with that engine will always find a buyer even if, at $18,000, it’s right at the top of the price ladder. Then again, given that it represents more or less a brand-new 2006 Patrol (and this model was a cool $80,000 on the road back in the day) maybe $18,000 is a steal. Depends on how you look at it.

    The only caveat is that it will use lots and lots of fuel and double that amount if you tow a caravan with it.
