2014 NISSAN NV4002.3L Diesel

The 2026‑06‑26 MOT at 152,991 miles passed, but the tester noted a near‑side rear tyre worn on the edge and a rear brake disc with pitting or scoring that was not seriously weakened. This follows a 2026‑06‑23 failure where service and parking brake efficiencies were below requirements and rear brake pads were thin. The trend is inconsistent: recurring brake and tyre issues have persisted, yet the latest test was passed, indicating sporadic maintenance rather than steady improvement. Mileage has risen from 88,228 in October 2017 to 152,991 in June 2026, averaging about 12,750 miles per year, which is high for a 2014 model. The steepest increases occurred between 2018‑2020 (121,594‑137,096 miles) and 2020‑2021 (137,096‑146,020 miles); since 2024 the annual rise has slowed to roughly 1,000 miles, suggesting reduced usage or longer periods of inactivity. Key recurring faults include slight play in the rear suspension ball joint, repeated rear brake disc wear and pitting, and persistent parking brake efficiency failures. Earlier records also flagged off‑side front suspension play, structural damage to the outer sills, missing side markers, and tyre wear on the near‑side rear edge, all pointing to possible corrosion, impact damage, or alignment problems that affect structural integrity and safety. A buyer should therefore inspect the rear suspension bushes and coil springs, test the binding of the rear brake calipers, examine the rear brake discs for cracks or excessive wear, verify the parking brake operation, and check for rust or damage on the outer sills and structural members. Additionally, assess tyre tread depth and wear pattern, alignment, and the functionality of all side and outline lamps to confirm roadworthiness.
