2022 Nissan Interstar Tekna DCI 2.3L Diesel · BX72 AOE

The most recent MOT test on this Nissan Interstar Tekna DCI, conducted on 22 August 2025, resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. The preceding test, just one day earlier on 21 August 2025, was a failure—though notably, no specific faults were logged against it. This abrupt reversal suggests either an administrative anomaly or a last-minute correction, as no mechanical issues were documented. The vehicle’s roadworthiness status is therefore technically current, but the lack of transparency in the failure record raises questions about whether critical components were overlooked or if the failure was procedural rather than technical. Buyers should verify whether the failure was genuine or if the vehicle was exempted from inspection due to prior history or special circumstances. The recorded mileage of 183,269 miles over approximately four years—from the vehicle’s 2022 registration—indicates an unusually high annual average of around 45,817 miles, which is well above the UK average for commercial vans of this age. This suggests either intensive operational use or prolonged periods of high-mileage driving without proportional maintenance. The MOT history is sparse, with only two tests in the past year, both occurring within 24 hours of each other. There are no intermediate tests to assess wear progression, which could mask underlying issues such as accelerated suspension bush deterioration, brake pad consumption, or drivetrain wear. The lack of a clear maintenance pattern makes it difficult to gauge whether critical components like coil springs, steering dampers, or exhaust systems have been serviced or replaced. Given the high mileage and the absence of recorded faults in the most recent pass, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of the suspension system, particularly the bushes and coil springs, which are prone to failure under heavy loads. The brakes, including calipers, discs, and hydraulic lines, should be thoroughly checked for binding, uneven wear, or corrosion—especially if the vehicle has been used for towing or heavy loads. The exhaust system warrants scrutiny for leaks, rust penetration, or catalytic converter efficiency, as these are common failure points in diesel vans at this mileage. Structural integrity, particularly around the chassis and wheel arches, should also be assessed for corrosion, as prolonged exposure to road salt or heavy use can accelerate deterioration. The engine bay should be inspected for oil leaks, coolant condition, and the integrity of hoses and belts, given the vehicle’s age and mileage.
