2013 Nissan NV400 2.3L Diesel · BF63 FBB

As a large 2.3L diesel van, running costs will be higher than a standard car. You should expect moderate to high fuel consumption depending on load and driving conditions. Tax and insurance groups for a vehicle of this size and engine capacity typically fall into mid-to-high brackets.

Maintenance costs for this model can be significant due to the size of the components. The recent MOT history highlights frequent needs for tyres, brake pads, and suspension parts like track rod ends and anti-roll bar linkages. Budget for regular replacement of these wear items to keep the vehicle roadworthy.

A priority inspection should be the front end of the vehicle. The MOT history shows repeated issues with the front intercooler being loose and a track rod end with excessive play in 2025. Physically check the security of the intercooler and inspect the steering linkage for any signs of play or noise when turning.

Secondly, examine the braking system and tyres. The 2025 record noted thin rear brake pads and a rear tyre worn close to the legal limit. Check the remaining tread depth on all tyres and the thickness of the brake pads and discs. Finally, inspect the bodywork and lighting, specifically looking for any insecure panels or damaged light lenses, as the offside front body panel and nearside rear light were flagged in recent tests.
