2004 NISSAN D222.5L Diesel

The 2004 Nissan D22 presents a stable and unblemished maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass at its most recent MOT on 6 September 2023 at 164,478 miles. The absence of any recorded defects or advisories across the available history indicates a vehicle that has remained mechanically sound and structurally compliant over the past three years. This consistent pass rate suggests a careful ownership pattern, though the complete lack of advisories requires scrutiny regarding whether minor wear items were genuinely absent or simply not flagged. The mileage accumulation aligns closely with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 7,476 miles per year, which is typical for a working pickup. Between the September 2021 test at 161,546 miles and the September 2022 test at 162,707 miles, the vehicle covered just 1,161 miles. Mileage increased by 1,771 miles between September 2022 and the September 2023 test at 164,478 miles. The record is notably sparse, showing no entries prior to 2021, and a significant gap exists between the last recorded test in September 2023 and today's date of 8 July 2026, meaning the vehicle currently operates without a valid MOT certificate. Given the 22-year age of this D22 and the three-year gap since its last test, a physical inspection must focus on structural integrity and corrosion, particularly the chassis rails, suspension mounting points, and brake lines. The lack of historical advisories does not guarantee the absence of hidden deterioration common to older Nissan pickups. A buyer should closely examine the condition of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for wear that has accumulated since 2023. The exhaust system and emissions output also require verification, as a stationary vehicle can develop leaks or catalytic degradation that would result in a failure today. Tyre condition and tread depth demand immediate attention, given the age of the rubber and the elapsed time since the last inspection.
