NISSAN CABSTAR1995 · 2.5L DIESEL

The most recent MOT for this 1995 Nissan Cabstar was recorded on 2009-06-18, over 17 years ago. At that time, the vehicle had 207,696 miles and passed with minor issues: slight play in the nearside steering pivot, worn offside rear tyre, and slightly corroded brake pipes. No major defects were noted, but the absence of any subsequent MOT records raises significant concerns. The vehicle has not been tested since 2009, leaving its current condition unknown. Recurring mechanical patterns from earlier MOTs (2007–2008) highlight persistent issues with suspension components, braking systems, and corrosion. Excessive play in lower suspension ball joints, corroded seat belt anchorages, and inadequately supported brake pipes appeared multiple times. A 2007 failure also included a leaking fuel tank and poor brake efficiency, both of which are serious safety risks. These issues suggest ongoing wear or inadequate maintenance, though later MOTs showed some improvement. The trend of defects appears to have stabilized but not resolved. While the 2009 MOT had fewer critical issues than earlier failures, the lack of recent testing means there is no evidence of improvement or worsening.
