2014 NISSAN NV4002.3L Diesel

The NV400 is not currently roadworthy; the most recent MOT on 15 July 2025 passed at 145,816 miles, yet the vehicle is now 13 days beyond its expiry, so a retest is required. The history shows a pattern of borderline failures followed by immediate retest passes, indicating intermittent issues that were rectified on the spot. Mileage has risen from 128,233 miles in July 2023 to 145,816 miles by July 2025, averaging roughly 12,150 miles per year. The jump from 138,100 to 145,806 miles between July 2024 and July 2025 added 7,706 miles in a single year, while the two failures on 10 and 12 July 2025 at 145,806 miles were both resolved on the 15th of the same month, suggesting the problems were minor and caught early. A buyer should inspect the braking system for binding calipers, uneven disc wear, and pad condition, as the repeated close‑call failures may reflect brake wear or pressure loss. Suspension components, including rear coil springs and rubber bushes, need close examination because high annual mileage accelerates bushing degradation and spring fatigue. Tyre tread depth and sidewall condition are critical; the rapid mileage increase in 2025 indicates heavier use, and uneven wear could signal alignment or suspension issues. Finally, a thorough visual check for corrosion on the chassis, floorpan and exhaust brackets is advisable given the vehicle’s age and cumulative mileage. The MOT record shows no recorded defects, but the lack of detailed fault entries means a professional service inspection is recommended to verify that the intermittent failures have not left underlying mechanical faults.
