2014 Nissan NV200 1.5L Diesel · AP14 FNV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a clean MOT pass in September 2025 at 129,665 miles with no defects recorded. This reflects a positive trend in maintenance following a period of recurring wear noted in previous years. While the history shows a pattern of suspension-related issues, the most recent inspection suggests that the current owner has addressed the outstanding mechanical concerns before they reached a point of critical failure. At 129,665 miles over twelve years, the NV200 averages approximately 10,800 miles per annum, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a commercial vehicle. The record shows a consistent accumulation of mileage, though a notable gap of nearly 9,000 miles occurred between August 2021 and August 2022. The steady increase in mileage since the 2017 test indicates the vehicle has remained in regular use rather than sitting stationary for long periods, which often helps prevent the degradation of rubber-based components and seals. A physical inspection should focus on the front suspension geometry, as this is a recurring area of concern. The 2024 test flagged play in both the nearside front lower suspension arm ball joint and the nearside rear anti-roll bar linkage, following a worn bush on the offside front arm noted back in 2022. A buyer must verify that these components have been replaced and are currently free of movement or audible knocking. Additionally, the 2020 failure involving a fractured offside front coil spring highlights that the suspension is subject to significant stress, making a thorough check for corrosion or fatigue on the remaining springs and bushings.
