2008 Nissan Primastar 2.0L Diesel · AE58 BLV

The 2008 Nissan Primastar presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 12 March 2026 at 145,434 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean results across the last five annual examinations. Annual mileage sits at roughly 8,080 miles, typical for an eighteen-year-old van. The records show steady accumulation: 131,774 miles in March 2022, 133,236 in March 2023, 138,106 in March 2024, 141,923 in March 2025, and 145,434 in March 2026. No gaps or sudden jumps appear in the sequence, and every test passed with no advisories logged. The clean sheet across five years suggests the previous keeper kept basic statutory testing in order, though absence of advisories does not confirm proactive mechanical care. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection before purchase. The MOT history flags no recurring faults on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, calipers, or structural corrosion, yet a vehicle of this age and mileage will likely show wear invisible to the annual test. Examine the subframe and sills for rust, check the condition of tyres and wiper blades, and verify the exhaust emissions under load. Given the sparse but clean record, the Primastar shows no warning signs of deferred maintenance on paper. Physical inspection remains essential to confirm the drivetrain and chassis match the favourable test outcomes.
