2012 Nissan NV200 1.5L Diesel · BV62 WRL

The 2012 Nissan NV200 presents a stable and highly reassuring maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 10 December 2025 at 117,734 miles with zero defects recorded. This outcome demonstrates consistent mechanical integrity over the past four years, indicating a vehicle that has been kept in sound operating condition. The absence of recurring faults or advisories suggests the previous owner addressed wear items proactively rather than allowing minor issues to escalate into major failures. The mileage accumulation aligns closely with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging roughly 8,410 miles annually. The record shows a steady, incremental progression from 101,023 miles in December 2022 to 117,734 miles in December 2025, with no alarming gaps or sudden spikes in usage. A minor anomaly appears in the December 2024 entries, where a test on the 17th at 112,711 miles recorded a failure despite no defects being listed, followed swiftly by a clean pass on the 19th at 112,795 miles. This likely indicates an administrative error or an aborted initial test rather than a sudden mechanical breakdown, given the immediate subsequent pass. Despite the pristine MOT record, a physical inspection remains essential to verify the condition of structural and mechanical components not always captured during a standard test. Focus on the undercarriage for corrosion, particularly around the suspension mounting points, sills, and brake lines, as the vehicle's age makes it susceptible to surface rust. Check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, and inspect the brake discs and calipers for any signs of binding or uneven wear. The exhaust system should be examined for leaks or deterioration, and the tyre tread depth and sidewall condition must be verified to ensure they meet legal requirements and show even wear patterns.
