2022 Nissan Interstar Tekna DCI 2.3L Diesel · BX72 AGZ

The 2022 Nissan Interstar Tekna DCI with 45,880 miles carries a single recorded failure on its most recent MOT test, which was unsuccessful due to insufficient washer liquid being delivered to the front windscreen washer system (advisory 3.5(a)). Despite this isolated issue, the overall roadworthiness trend remains stable, with the vehicle passing its MOT examination just three months earlier in September 2025. The absence of any additional defects across multiple test cycles since then suggests the underlying powertrain and chassis systems have remained functional throughout the vehicle's four-year ownership period. At 45,880 miles on approximately four years of age, the vehicle accumulates roughly 11,470 miles annually—a rate consistent with typical usage patterns for a model of this generation. There are no significant mileage gaps between the two recorded MOT dates, indicating regular compliance checks were performed. The single failure occurred during the second most recent test cycle, leaving the intervening six-month period free of recorded issues. This usage profile implies moderate driving exposure rather than heavy commuter or touring demand, which helps contextualize the nature of the washer system problem as a localized concern rather than a symptom of excessive wear. The primary concern stems from the front windscreen washer system receiving inadequate liquid flow, which can result in weak or intermittent washer spray when wet. On a test drive, the buyer should pay particular attention to the windscreen area while driving in light to moderate rain; if the washer fluid does not disperse evenly or fails to cover the entire pane quickly, the reported 3.5(a) advisory would confirm the issue. Additionally, inspecting the washer reservoir cap and ensuring the pump mechanism operates freely will help determine whether the problem is mechanical or related to fuel delivery to the washer circuit. Beyond the washer system, the current MOT record shows no other defects, meaning the engine, transmission, suspension, brakes, and drivetrain appear to be within acceptable limits according to the latest examination. Nevertheless, a practical recommendation is to verify the washer system functionality independently—checking both the spray performance under various weather conditions and the condition of the washer bottle itself—for peace of mind before committing to a purchase. Given the single, non-critical failure and the absence of broader mechanical issues, the vehicle's fundamental roadworthiness is intact, though the washer system warrants a dedicated visual and functional inspection.
