2014 Nissan NV400 2.3L Diesel · GN64 AAJ

The vehicle shows a worsening maintenance trend characterized by increasing frequency of failures and a higher volume of advisory items as mileage climbs. While the December 2024 test at 169,500 miles resulted in a pass, the record shows a pattern of recurring electrical issues and brake component degradation. The most recent test flagged multiple non-functioning outline marker lamps and a pitted nearside rear brake disc, suggesting that while the vehicle remains operational, the attention to minor consumable repairs and lighting systems has become inconsistent. The mileage profile indicates heavy commercial or long-distance use, averaging roughly 14,000 miles per year. A significant jump occurred between August 2019 and August 2020, where the vehicle covered over 40,000 miles. The data shows a consistent upward trajectory with no signs of long-term storage, though the density of defects has increased significantly in the last three years. The jump from 112,762 miles in 2019 to 154,567 miles in 2020 highlights a period of intense usage that likely accelerated the wear on mechanical components. A prospective buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system and steering assembly. The history reveals recurring issues with brake discs being worn or pitted, as seen in both February 2024 and December 2024, alongside a previous report of a binding nearside rear brake in February 2023. The February 2023 failure also flagged excessive play in the offside front steering column universal joint, a critical component that requires verification of smooth operation. Suspension and tyre health also require close scrutiny. The record shows a history of insecurely attached nearside rear shock absorbers and play in the front lower suspension arm ball joints in 2022. Given the high mileage and the previous failures involving tyre cuts and edge wear, the current condition of the suspension bushings, dampers, and all four tyres should be prioritised. Finally, the repeated failure to examine rear seat belts due to tools and boxes left in the cabin suggests a working environment that may have led to neglected interior or safety component checks.
