2018 Nissan NV400 2.3L Diesel · NK18 AAF

The 2018 Nissan NV400’s most recent MOT on 2024-11-05 at 223,699 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating current roadworthiness. However, the prior test on 2024-11-02 at 223,612 miles failed without recorded defects, suggesting potential unresolved issues. The 2023-11-09 test at 160,590 miles passed with no defects, while the 2022-08-09 test at 124,268 miles also passed. The pattern shows no recurring mechanical failures, but the lack of defect details in both failed tests limits diagnostic clarity. The vehicle’s maintenance history appears stable in terms of reported issues, though the high mileage and infrequent testing raise concerns about undetected wear. The vehicle’s mileage of 223,699 miles at 2026-07-21 equates to an average of 27,962 miles annually since 2018, significantly above typical usage. From 2022-08-09 (124,268 miles) to 2024-11-05 (223,699 miles), it accumulated 99,431 miles in 27 months, reflecting rapid usage. This suggests frequent operation, which accelerates wear on components like brake discs, suspension bushes, and exhaust systems. The absence of structural corrosion or major mechanical defects in MOT records is positive, but the high mileage implies potential hidden issues requiring physical inspection. A buyer should prioritise checking the suspension for worn coil springs or bushings, as high mileage often affects these parts. Brake systems, including calipers and discs, should be inspected for uneven wear or binding, given the vehicle’s extensive use. The exhaust system’s integrity is critical, as corrosion or leaks could develop unnoticed. Additionally, the vehicle’s body should be assessed for rust, particularly in areas prone to moisture ingress. While MOT records show no immediate risks, the combination of high mileage and infrequent testing necessitates a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm the vehicle’s condition.
