NISSAN CABSTAR2003 · 2.7L Diesel

The 2003 Nissan Cabstar presents a stable and clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent test on 9 July 2025 at 87,490 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of passes stretching back to 1 September 2021. The maintenance trend shows no worsening faults, advisories, or recurring mechanical concerns across the available five-year MOT span. Recorded mileage sits at 87,490 against an age of roughly 23 years, equating to about 3,804 miles per year. The tester logged 84,758 miles on 3 July 2024 and 80,572 on 22 June 2023, confirming low annual use with no abrupt accumulation. A minor gap exists between the 2021 test dated 1 September and the 2022 test dated 19 July, but the 2,106-mile rise over that period stays consistent with light duty. The sparse, fault-free history suggests the previous keeper maintained basic statutory compliance without neglect. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and corrosion on chassis rails, cab mounts, and suspension bushes, as a 23-year-old light commercial can hide rust not caught in a clean MOT. Brake discs, calipers, and coil springs warrant physical checks for binding or fatigue despite no tester flags. Exhaust emissions and drivetrain condition should be verified given long standing periods implied by low mileage. The absence of advisories across five tests does not exempt the vehicle from age-related degradation. Verify service history, inspect tyres and wiper blades for perishing, and confirm the 2.7-litre diesel unit starts cold without smoke before purchase.
