2018 Nissan NV200 1.5L Diesel · DP18 PZS

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, though the history indicates a period of reactive maintenance rather than preventative care. While the most recent test in June 2022 at 61,156 miles resulted in a pass, it followed two immediate failures within three days. This suggests the owner only addressed mechanical faults once they threatened the MOT certificate. The transition from a pass in 2021 to multiple failures in 2022 shows a period where components were neglected until they reached failure limits. The mileage pattern is consistent with a light-use commercial vehicle profile, averaging approximately 7,600 miles per year. There is a significant gap in data between the June 2021 test at 48,919 miles and the June 2022 tests at 61,156 miles, covering over 12,000 miles in that single year. The low annual mileage for an eight-year-old van often leads to rubber degradation, as evidenced by the'all perishing noted during the June 2022 inspection. A buyer must specifically inspect the front suspension assembly, as the nearside front track rod end dust cover was previously flagged as deteriorated. The braking system requires close scrutiny because the tester flagged the rear service brake for excessive fluctuation, which often indicates thin ormined discs and potentially a sticking caliper piston. It is also vital to verify that the headlamp alignment is now correct, as the vehicle failed for incorrect beam projection and improper bulb seating. Additionally, check all tyres for sidewall cracking, as the history confirms the rubber may be aging out despite the relatively low mileage.
