2018 Nissan NV400 2.3L Diesel · BA18 AEC

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness based on a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent inspection conducted on 17 September 2025 at 136,891 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This sustained trend of perfect passes across the last five tests suggests that the vehicle has been maintained to a high standard and does not suffer from recurring mechanical or safety-related failures. The mileage profile indicates a significant acceleration in usage over the last three years. Between August 2021 and September 2022, the vehicle covered 13,658 miles. However, the usage increased sharply after September 2022, with 17,190 miles recorded prior to the 2023 test and another 28,518 miles by September 2024. The current average of over 17,000 miles per year is high for a commercial vehicle of this age, suggesting heavy long-distance use which typically accelerates the wear rate on the drivetrain and suspension components. Given the high mileage-related wear, a physical inspection should focus on components prone to fatigue under heavy-duty cycles. The buyer must check for signs of excessive play in suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers, which often degrade rapidly at these mileages. The braking system should be examined for thin discs or seized caliper pistons, as the MOT test does not always catch these issues early. While the record shows no structural integrity issues to date, a close look for surface corrosion on the chassis and mounting points is necessary to ensure the long-term viability of the frame.
