NISSAN PRIMASTAR2014 · 2.0L DIESEL

The most recent MOT on 2026-04-23 shows the vehicle failed with three critical issues: offside front service brake excessively binding, front inner brake disc significantly worn, and front tyres worn close to legal limits. These defects indicate urgent safety concerns, particularly with braking performance and tyre integrity. The same date also records a passed MOT at 144,312 miles, but this appears contradictory given the subsequent failure at 144,313 miles. This inconsistency may reflect data entry errors or overlapping test records, but the failure remains the most recent and relevant outcome. A recurring pattern of brake-related defects emerges from the MOT history. In 2025-08-21, the front brake disc was noted as worn but not seriously weakened. By 2026-04-23, the same component had deteriorated to "significantly and obviously worn," suggesting progressive degradation. The offside front brake binding in the latest failure could indicate underlying issues with caliper function, rotor warping, or improper maintenance. These problems point to a worsening trend in brake system reliability, which is a major safety risk. The vehicle’s mileage of 144,312 miles over 12 years equates to approximately 12,026 miles annually, which is high for its age.
