Our Verdict
Highly recommended purchase for those seeking a low-mileage van. The exceptionally low mileage and consistent passing MOT history make this a standout example of the early-generation Nissan NV200.
The primary selling point of this vehicle is its low mileage, but buyers should verify that it has been serviced annually; low-mileage vehicles can sometimes suffer from neglected maintenance of rubber components and fluids over time. Check for a full service history to ensure oil changes were performed based on time rather than distance.
Pay close attention to the suspension, as the MOT history has noted play in ball joints and linkages in 2020 and 2024. Ensure these have been replaced recently to avoid immediate costs. Also, check the brake condition, as previous advisories mentioned fluctuating and worn/pitted discs.
The 1.5 dCi diesel engine is known for its efficiency, typically delivering between 35-45 mpg depending on load. Given its age and engine, it falls into a relatively reasonable tax bracket, and insurance groups are generally moderate for this class of vehicle.
Maintenance costs are standard for a Japanese light van, though parts for suspension components are widely available and affordable. Expect an annual running cost including fuel, tax, and basic maintenance to be approximately £1,200-£1,500.
Inspect the front suspension thoroughly; the MOT history specifically flagged a broken offside coil spring in 2022 and noted play in the nearside front ball joint in 2024. Test the vehicle for any clunking noises over bumps, which would indicate worn bushings or linkages.
Examine the braking system. The history shows fluctuating brakes in 2018 and worn discs in 2022. Ensure the rotors are not heavily grooved and the pads have ample life. Additionally, given the low mileage, check the tyres sidewalls for cracking or age, as they may have sat for long periods between uses.
This 2014 Nissan NV200 is in very good condition, having covered just 46,072 miles over its twelve-year life, significantly below the national average. The MOT history shows a generally clean record with only one failure involving a coil spring which was promptly rectified. The 1.5 diesel engine appears to have been well-maintained, suggesting a light usage history rather than heavy commercial work.
The Nissan NV200 is generally considered a robust workhorse, though the 1.5-dCi engine requires regular oil changes to prevent turbo and DPF issues.

Common Problems: NISSAN NV200
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- Tailgate gas struts corrode and let the door drop (recall R/2016/081)(Moderate)
The DVSA notice is unusually physical for a small van: the paint coating on the back door gas stay does not meet the anti-corrosion requirement, so the outer tube can corrode, crack and lose its pressurised gas, leaving the stay unable to support the rear door - which then drops on whoever is loading. It covers NV200 vans built from 1 August 2009 to 27 November 2015 and e-NV200s built from 1 April 2014 to 4 March 2016, 4,377 UK vehicles between them. My MOT Checker's summary of the register repeats the same defect and the fix, which is replacement of the gas stay. Any used van kept outside will be showing the same corrosion around the door hinges and stays regardless of whether the campaign was done.
- Ignition switch and park lock recalls plus a load of commercial wear items(Moderate)
The rest of the NV200's recall cluster is worth checking in one go: R/2018/234 covers vans built between 30 March and 29 May 2017 where a surface defect on the internal ignition switch spring could stall the engine while driving and even affect airbag operation, and R/2020/294 covers 2,547 vans built between July and September 2019 where a poor weld on the park lock actuator plate inside the reducer could let the park lock fail. Alongside that, the RAC's ownership survey flags stuck sliding doors, evaporative emissions faults on 2013-2017 vans letting fumes into the cabin, and a starter, alternator and battery trio that gives up on delivery work.
