2019 Nissan Cabstar 3.0L Diesel · BM19 RWJ

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 9 July 2026, though the record shows a trend of worsening suspension components. While the vehicle avoided major failures in the last two tests, the advisories indicate a shift from tyre and brake issues toward suspension wear. The July 2026 test flagged worn bushes on both the nearside and offside rear shock absorbers, following previous advisories for ball joint play in the front suspension during the 2025 test. The vehicle has covered 63,418 miles over approximately seven years, averaging roughly 9,060 miles per year. This usage pattern appears consistent with the age of a 2019 Nissan Cabstar. The MOT records are relatively recent, with annual tests documented from June 2023 through July 2026. The 2023 failure, which involved multiple tyres with cuts reaching the ply or cords, suggests a period where consumable maintenance was neglected. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the entire suspension system. The history shows recurring issues with ball joints and shock absorber bushes, so checking for excessive play in the front lower suspension arms and anti-roll bar linkages is necessary. The 2025 test also noted worn front brake discs and a binding nearside front service brake, so the braking system requires a detailed check for caliper sticking or uneven disc wear. The history also shows a pattern of tyre-related failures and advisories. Given the major failures in June 2023 regarding tyre sidewall damage, the current condition of all tyres and the quality of recent replacements should be verified. While the recent record is free of major structural or emission failures, the accumulation of suspension advisories suggests that mechanical components are nearing the end of their service life. buying_score: 55 risk_level: Medium.
