2015 Nissan Cabstar 2.5L Diesel · BL64 CPN

The vehicle currently holds a valid roadworthiness status following a clean pass on August 11, 2025 at 80,033 miles. The maintenance trend shows improvement after a period of mechanical neglect in mid-2024. While the vehicle suffered two consecutive failures last year, the most recent test with no recorded defects indicates that the identified mechanical issues were addressed and the vehicle is currently meeting the minimum safety standards. At 11 years of age, the recorded 80,033 miles represent an annual average of approximately 7,276 miles, which is consistent with light commercial use for a Nissan Cabstar. The data shows steady progression with 1,616 miles covered between the July 2023 and August 2024 tests, and another 1,311 miles before the August 2025 test. This consistent mileage suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to high-intensity usage cycles, which generally preserves drivetrain components and reduces engine wear. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension assembly. The failures in early 2024 specifically highlighted excessively worn anti-roll bar linkage ball joints on both the offside and nearside, alongside an insecure obligatory mirror. Although these were repaired to secure a pass in August 2024, the buyer should check for play in the bushings or rubber damage on the linkages to ensure the wear is not recurring prematurely. Given the age of the vehicle, a thorough check of the chassis for corrosion around suspension mounting points is also advisable, as the MOT record does not detail the structural integrity beyond the pass requirements.
