2009 Nissan Primastar 2.0L Diesel · DV59 DYN

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent inspection data. The MOT test conducted on 26 July 2024 at 129,589 miles passed with no recorded defects, indicating that the vehicle currently meets the minimum legal safety standards. While a single failure was noted on 18 August 2023 at 119,983 miles, the immediate retest pass the following day suggests a minor issue was identified and rectified quickly, rather than being a sign of systemic mechanical neglect. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 17-year-old commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 7,600 miles per annum. Between August 2021 and August 2022, the vehicle covered 19,733 miles, showing a period of higher usage compared to the subsequent interval of 9,753 miles recorded between August 2022 and 2023. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle has been used regularly, which often helps prevent internal corrosion issues associated with long stationary periods. The lack of advisories across the last three passing tests indicates that the previous owners have maintained the vehicle to a functional standard without allowing minor wear to escalate into major failures. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the lower structural areas and suspension components, as these are common points of fatigue for Primastars of this age. Despite the clean MOT history, one must check for surface rust on the sills, floor pans, and rear mounting points where moisture tends to collect. Additionally, given the mileage, the condition of the brake lines and the state of suspension bushes should be verified to ensure there is no perished rubber or excessive play that has not yet triggered an MOT advisory.
