Is it possible to source a Patrol's "history" or technical specs with the VIN and/or registration nr?
Much appreciated

The answer is fairly simple.
1. For all the visits the Patrol had to Nissan dealer workshops the detail/service history should be on the Nissan data system. However, not all the Nissan workshops are part of the central Nissan data warehouse.
2. For all the visits the Patrol had to non-Nissan workshops the detail/history will not be on any data system....and it is possible that it visited such workshops even between scheduled services.
Therefore, a peep into the Nissan data warehouse will not nessesarily reveil all the detail you are looking for.
Patrol fan!

Thank you, that makes sense!
I have a hunch that this Patrol hasn't seen the inside of a dealer's workshop for some time - the impression that I got is that a/the previous owner did most of the maintenance himself and that he was very good at it as well

Draadkar, I doubt anybody could do a worse job than some of the Nissan agents.
Mag ons ons kenniskry met lekkerkry aanhoukry.

It is sad though, I thought it was just the Toyota owners who had reason to gripe about poor service?
