2014 NISSAN CABSTAR2.5L Diesel

The most recent MOT on 2025-05-29 recorded a failure for both front windscreen wipers not clearing the windscreen effectively. This is a minor defect (3.4 (b) (ii)) but indicates a functional issue with the wiper system. No other defects were noted in this test, and the vehicle passed all prior MOTs from 2021 to 2024. The failure appears isolated to the wiper mechanism, with no evidence of recurring or escalating issues. The MOT history shows a stable pattern over the past five years, with no serious or safety-critical defects recorded. All tests from 2021 to 2024 resulted in a pass, and the 2025 failure was limited to a single, non-urgent issue. There is no indication of worsening conditions, but the lack of recent defects also suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to heavy use. The recorded mileage of 1,673 miles for a 12-year-old vehicle is exceptionally low, averaging 139 miles per year. This could reflect light usage or prolonged periods of inactivity, which may lead to component degradation (e.g., corrosion, dry rot, or seized parts). However, the absence of other defects in the MOT history does not confirm this risk.
