2016 NISSAN CABSTAR2.5L DIESEL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance history indicates a pattern of reactive repairs rather than preventative care. The most recent test in February 2025 at 32,413 miles resulted in a pass despite an advisory for an offside front tyre worn to the legal limit. This mirrors a previous finding in March 2024 at 30,341 miles, suggesting a persistent issue with tyre alignment or suspension geometry remains unaddressed. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a ten-year-old commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 3,241 miles per year. Between February 2022 and February 2025, the vehicle covered 7,193 miles, indicating infrequent use. While low mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, it often leads to the degradation of rubber components and seals due to stationary periods. The gap between the February 2025 test and the current date suggests the vehicle has sat for over sixteen months. A buyer must scrutinize the front suspension assembly closely. The record shows the nearside front shock absorber progressed from a light misting and a slightly worn bush in 2022 to a serious fluid leak and an excessively worn bush by 2023. Although these were repaired to pass the subsequent test, the recurring tyre wear in 2024 and 2025 indicates that the underlying components or tracking may still be out of specification. A physical inspection of the perished bushings and uneven tyre patterns is essential to ensure the low mileage has not masked structural fatigue or mechanical neglect.
