2014 Nissan NV200 1.5L Diesel · DV14 LMK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a reactive approach to repairs rather than proactive servicing. The most recent test in September 2025 at 149,289 miles passed after a failure caused by minor electrical bulbing issues and a damaged windscreen. While the vehicle consistently passes its tests, the recurring trend of failing on easily avoidable bulbs and minor components suggests that the owner only addresses faults when they become significant enough to cause an MOT failure. At 149,289 miles, this 2014 NV200 has covered significant mileage, averaging approximately 12,400 miles per year. This consistent usage is typical for a commercial van but places high demand on the drivetrain and suspension components. Between September 2023 and September 2024, the vehicle covered 12,285 miles, showing a steady and heavy rate of operation. This high mileage increases the likelihood of accelerated wear on rubber-based bushings and mechanical hardware, which are already beginning to manifest in the recorded data. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension geometry. The records show a persistent history of play in the anti-roll bar linkage and suspension arm ball joints dating back to 2023 and 2024. While these may have been addressed, the recurring nature of these faults suggests the front-end assembly may be under significant stress. Furthermore, the 2024 advisory regarding imbalanced rear brakes that only just met the legal limit indicates a potentially sticking caliper or worn wheel cylinder that requires close monitoring to ensure even pad wear and effective stopping performance.
