2007 NISSAN CABSTAR2.5L Diesel

The 2007 Nissan Cabstar presents a currently roadworthy status following its most recent pass on 6 August 2025 at 83,417 miles, with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, showing no escalating mechanical concerns. Two failed tests on the same dates as passes in 2024 and 2025, both at identical mileages and with no defects logged, indicate administrative rejections rather than mechanical faults, not a worsening condition. Recorded mileage stands at 83,417 miles against an approximate 19-year lifespan, equating to roughly 4,390 miles per year. The vehicle covered only 603 miles between the July 2023 test at 81,111 miles and the August 2024 test at 81,714 miles, then a mere 1,703 miles to August 2025. Such low, slow accumulation suggests extended standing periods or light duties, with sparse test data showing clean sheets throughout. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and corrosion on chassis members, given the age and likely idle spells that accelerate rust where moisture settles. Suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs deserve physical checks for degradation unseen in the paper record. The absence of advisories across all entries does not exempt the Cabstar from age-related wear on consumables and driveline seals. Verify the reason for the same-day fail-and-pass entries with DVSA to confirm no suppressed defect. Previous keepers maintained basic test compliance, yet the long dormancy implies fluids, tyres, and brake calipers may need renewal despite the clear MOT trail.
