2014 Nissan Primastar 2.0L Diesel · FG64 AAU

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT but the history reveals a worsening trend in deferred maintenance regarding mechanical components. While the most recent test in February 2026 at 85,747 miles resulted in a pass, it followed a significant failure just six days prior. The transition from a failure to a pass required addressing multiple critical issues including a failed track rod end, an engine management light fault, and a structural tyre failure, suggesting that the owner only rectifies faults when forced by the testing process rather than through a preventative service schedule. At 12 years old, the Nissan Primastar has covered 85,747 miles, averaging approximately 7,146 miles per year. This low annual mileage is typical for a used commercial vehicle, yet the data shows a recent spike in use between February 2025 (72,828 miles) and February 2026 (85,739 miles), where the vehicle covered over 12,000 miles in a single year. This sudden increase in usage correlates with the accelerated degradation seen in the rubber components and braking hardware. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension and subframe, as the tester consistently flagged worn pins and bushes across 2023, 2024, and 2026. The offside front constant velocity boot is a recurring failure point, appearing as severely deteriorated since 2023, which indicates a high risk of imminent joint failure if not recently replaced. Furthermore, the persistent corrosion on the offside rear brake pipe and the pitting on the front brake discs suggest that the vehicle has been exposed to harsh elements without adequate cleaning or protection, which may lead to structural thinning of the brake lines over time.
