2017 NISSAN NV2001.5L Diesel

The vehicle currently holds a clean roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT on 16 May 2025 with 116,086 miles and no recorded defects. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the vehicle has consistently cleared the test following initial failures in previous years. The fact that failures in 2024 and 2025 resulted in immediate passes upon retesting suggests the previous owners were proactive in rectifying minor MOT-related issues rather than allowing long-term mechanical neglect. The mileage profile indicates consistent high-intensity usage, averaging approximately 12,900 miles per year over its nine-year life. Between the March 2023 test at 91,165 miles and the May 2025 test at 116,086 miles, the vehicle covered 24,921 miles in just two years. This rapid accumulation is characteristic of a van likely used for heavy commercial or long-distance transit work, which typically puts greater strain on drivetrain components, suspension bushings, and braking systems compared to lower-mileage examples. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and underbody prior to purchase. Given the high mileage and the age of the vehicle, check for excessive play in control arms, shocks, and coil springs which are prone to fatigue under heavy loads. You should also inspect the brake system for thin discs or binding calipers, as high-mile cycles often accelerate wear on these consumables. While the record shows no structural corrosion, a check of the sills and chassis points for rust is essential to ensure the high usage has not compromised the structural integrity of the frame.
