How can you tell if a Nissan Pathfinder was modified?
I found a great used Pathfinder online, but the owner isn’t giving up much information. I know the basics, but what I’m interested in any after-market parts that might be on there. How can I tell if a Nissan Pathfinder was modified?

I understand your concern. If you’re going to pay a lot of money for a vehicle, you want to know exactly what you’re getting. Here is how to tell if any vehicle, including the
Nissan Pathfinder
, has been modified:- Walk around the car. This is a simple way to check for any visible modifications to the vehicle’s body.
- Inspect the paint. If anyone did a modified painting of the body with subpar materials, you’d likely see chips or cracks.
- Look at filters, pipes, and exhausts. If the prior owner replaced these parts with after-market, low-quality alternatives, they tend to wear out quickly.
- Check the tires. All four should be the same brand and model.
- Look at the engine and battery. Depending on where you live, some engine modifications may not be allowed, so the engine and battery require special attention.
While inspecting, look for
anything illegal
, such as underbody neon lights or super dark window tint.Once you buy your new truck, update your
