2021 Nissan NV250 Tekna DCI 1.5L Diesel · DV71 SDZ

The vehicle presents a roadworthy status, but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach. The most recent test on 25 November 2025 at 44,936 miles resulted in a pass following a failure for a non-functional nearside stop lamp and tyres reaching the legal limit. While the vehicle currently meets standards, the recurring nature of failures suggests that the owner only addresses mechanical issues once they result in an MOT failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with a five-year-old van, averaging approximately 9,000 miles per year. Between the 29 November 2024 test at 30,897 miles and the 25 November 2025 test, the vehicle covered 14,039 miles in just twelve months. This spike in usage compared to the annual average typically accelerates the wear on drivetrain and suspension components, which explains the rapid degradation of the rubber elements and brake materials noted in the records. A buyer must conduct a close physical inspection of the braking system and tyres. The November 2024 test flagged thin rear brake pads at approximately 2mm, and the 2025 test noted a nearside rear tyre worn on the edge. This edge wear often indicates an alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that should be checked to prevent premature tyre failure. Additionally, the 2024 advisory regarding cracking and perishing on the outer tyres suggests the rubber compound may be aging despite the relatively low mileage, necessitating a check of the sidewalls for structural cracks.
