2013 Nissan NV200 1.5L Diesel · DS13 XFL

The vehicle's roadworthiness appears stable following its most recent test on 6 May 2026 at 283,763 miles, which returned a pass with no recorded defects. This follows a period of mechanical instability in June 2025, where the tester flagged pitted and scored front brake discs alongside reduced damping from both front shock absorbers. The absence of these advisories in the latest inspection suggests the owner has addressed these specific wear items, indicating a proactive approach to maintaining the vehicle's safety standards. The mileage profile indicates heavy commercial use, averaging approximately 21,800 miles per year over its thirteen-year lifespan. The data shows consistent, high-volume usage, with the vehicle covering 2,732 miles between the April 2024 and June 2025 tests, and then another 1,721 miles leading into the May 2026 test. This high annual mileage places significant stress on drivetrain components and suspension geometry. The continuity of the records suggests the vehicle has remained in regular service without long periods of inactivity. A prospective buyer should focus inspection on the suspension and steering components due to a recurring pattern of wear. The record shows multiple failures and advisories related to ball joints and leaf spring bushes, specifically in March 2019 and April 2021. While the 2026 test was clean, the history of excessive wear in suspension arms and anti-roll bar linkages suggests that the chassis and mounting points undergo high stress. The brake system also warrants a physical check. Although the pitted discs noted in June 2025 were not mentioned in the May 2026 pass, the high mileage makes it essential to verify the remaining thickness of the discs and the condition of the calipers. Given the previous issues with shock absorber damping and leaf spring bushes, a thorough test drive to check for knocks, vibrations, or uneven tyre wear is necessary to ensure the high-mileage usage has not compromised the structural integrity of the suspension.
