2019 Nissan NV200 1.5L Diesel · DM19 CDM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward neglect following a period of clean records. While the van passed its 2022 through 2024 tests without any defects, the July 2025 inspection at 54,767 miles identified two distinct mechanical issues. The presence of a nearside front outer suspension arm ball joint with play and an offside front tyre worn to the legal limit indicates that preventative maintenance has begun to lapse after several years of stable operation. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a typical light-use profile, averaging approximately 7,800 miles per year over the seven-year period. Between July 2022 (33,947 miles) and July 2025 (54,767 miles), the vehicle covered roughly 21,000 miles, suggesting steady usage patterns. The lack of significant gaps in testing intervals indicates the vehicle remained in service, though the recent advisories suggest that the low mileage has not prevented component wear on mechanical linkages. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension geometry to assess the extent of the play in the ball joint. This component often leads to premature failure of related steering-related components if not addressed. The edge wear on the offside front tyre suggests a potential alignment issue or a worn suspension bush, which should be verified to avoid rapid degradation of new rubber. Given the transition from a clean history to recent faults, a check for fluid leaks and general corrosion on the chassis is advisable to ensure no other hidden issues have developed during the latest year of use.
