2013 Nissan NV200 1.5L Diesel · FA58 ANU

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT, but the maintenance history indicates a worsening trend regarding reactive repairs. While it passed its latest test in February 2026 at 125,030 miles, the result carried a heavy list of advisories following a failure just four days prior. The transition from a clean record in early 2025 to multiple mechanical failures in early 2026 suggests that issues are only addressed when legally necessary, rather than through proactive preventative maintenance. At 125,030 miles over 13 years, the Nissan NV200 has averaged approximately 9,600 miles per year, which is consistent with a commercial vehicle of this age. However, there was a significant spike in usage of 10,000 miles between January 2025 and February 2026. This rapid accumulation, combined with the immediate failure of brake components and suspension joints, suggests the vehicle has been under heavy load recently, which has accelerated the wear on rubber-and-metal-related components. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the underside due to the general corrosion noted in recent tests. The 2024 failure revealed excessively corroded rear brake pipes, which requires close monitoring to ensure the degradation has not progressed toward structural thinning. Furthermore, the 2026 advisory for a non-excessive oil leak and low brake fluid levels indicates active weeping or seal failure that should be investigated to prevent future mechanical breakdown. Specific attention should also be paid to the seat belts, as multiple webbing points and buckles were flagged as damaged across the two most recent tests. The recurring issue with front tyres reaching the legal limit or perishing suggests a pattern of neglecting consumable items. Given the history of worn ball joints, the entire front suspension geometry should be checked for play or uneven wear before purchase.
