2004 NISSAN D222.5L Diesel

The vehicle shows a stable maintenance trend based on the available data, though the MOT history is significantly outdated. The last recorded test on 9 May 2022 resulted in a pass at 104,407 miles, following a failure just two miles prior on the same day. Because there are no recorded tests between May 2022 and July 2026, the current roadworthiness cannot be verified. The car has been off the official testing cycle for over four years. The mileage is exceptionally low for a 22 year old vehicle, averaging roughly 4,746 miles per year. The record shows a steady increase from 93,949 miles in October 2019 to 104,407 miles in May 2022. However, the total lack of mileage accumulation since 2022 suggests the vehicle has been stationary for a prolonged period. Long-term standing often leads to perished rubber components and seized mechanical parts. A buyer must prioritise a thorough inspection for structural corrosion, particularly on the chassis and load bed, as these are common failure points for the Nissan D22. The absence of any recorded advisories or defects across five tests is unusual for a vehicle of this age and suggests a very light duty cycle or a lenient testing history. You should specifically check for binding brake calipers and the condition of the suspension bushes, which often degrade during long periods of inactivity. Verify the current state of the tyres and fluids. While the 2022 test was clean, four years of standing can cause tyre flat-spotting and oil sludge buildup. Ensure the engine starts readily and the braking system is fully operational before purchase, given the significant gap in the MOT record.
