2018 Nissan NV200 1.5L Diesel · DN67 WKA

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status but exhibits a history of deferred maintenance and recurring mechanical faults. While it passed its most recent test in February 2026 at 108,697 miles, this followed just one day after a failure involving multiple critical defects. The maintenance trend suggests a reactive approach to repairs, as several components like the brake pipes and suspension bushes were only addressed once they triggered an MOT failure rather than being serviced during scheduled intervals. At 108,697 miles over eight years, this Nissan NV200 has averaged approximately 13,600 miles per year. This high-usage profile is consistent with the accelerated wear observed on consumables and suspension components. The record shows significant mileage accumulation, with nearly 16,000 miles covered between February 2024 and March 2025, and another 10,000 miles in the year leading up to the February 2026 test. This consistent heavy use suggests commercial operation which places high stress on the drivetrain and braking system. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the braking system and suspension assembly. The rear brake pipes have been flagged for corrosion and grease contamination since at least 2025, indicating a persistent issue with environmental exposure or fluid ingress that requires close monitoring. The February 2026 failure highlighted a worn nearside front anti-roll bar ball joint and a suspension arm bush, suggesting that the front end is reaching the end of its service life due to the high mileage. The February 2026 test also identified an oil leak originating from the gearbox, suspected to be the rear mains oil seal. This mechanical concern requires immediate investigation to determine the rate of loss and potential for further internal damage. Given the history of pitted and scored brake discs along with binding calipers, the buyer should verify the current condition of all rotors and pads to ensure that the previous issues have not resulted in uneven wear or heat damage.
