Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and budget for imme
When inspecting this Primastar, pay close attention to the front suspension. The MOT history shows repeated issues with ball joints and dust covers, specifically on the offside front. A thorough test drive is essential to check for knocks or knocks from the suspension, especially when driving over uneven surfaces.
Ask the seller for evidence of any recent work carried out to address the 2026 MOT advisories regarding the anti-roll bar linkage and the suspension arm dust cover. Additionally, check the condition of the tyres and brake discs, as the history indicates these have been points of failure or advisory in previous years (2022, 2024, and 2025).
As a 1995cc diesel, running costs will be dictated by your annual mileage and load capacity. Tax and insurance groups for this model vary depending on the specific trim and engine output, but you should expect typical commercial vehicle rates.
Maintenance costs for a 2007 vehicle of this age often include more frequent replacements of wear-and-tear items like brakes and suspension components, which the MOT history supports. Estimated annual running costs include fuel, tax, insurance, and a contingency for maintenance.
Focus heavily on the front suspension assembly. The 2026 MOT record specifically highlighted the offside front anti-roll bar linkage ball joint and the offside front lower suspension arm ball joint dust cover. These are known areas of wear that require inspection for play or splitting.
Check the braking system thoroughly. The 2024 MOT noted pitting and scoring on both nearside and offside front brake discs, as well as corrosion on the nearside rear coil spring. Ensure these have been replaced or treated, and inspect the underside for any signs of significant corrosion that could lead to future failures.
This 2007 Nissan Primastar, finished in grey, has covered 117,085 miles since its first registration in April 2007. The MOT history shows a pattern of wear related to suspension, tyres, and brakes, with the most recent test in April 2026 noting deterioration in the offside front anti-roll bar and suspension arm dust cover. The mileage is relatively consistent with a vehicle of this age and type.
No aggregate reliability data is currently available for the Nissan Primastar to provide a model-wide comparison.
