2012 Nissan NV200 1.5L Diesel · FL12 RGV

The 2012 Nissan NV200 demonstrates a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a completely clean pass at its most recent inspection. On 8 October 2025, at 166,243 miles, the tester recorded zero defects, indicating the vehicle currently meets all required safety and emissions standards. A failed test appears on the record for 24 September 2024 at 161,436 miles, yet curiously lists no defects, suggesting an administrative anomaly or an immediate rectification of a minor issue before the same-day pass. The absence of recurring mechanical or structural failures across the timeline points to a vehicle that has been kept in a thoroughly roadworthy state. The mileage accumulation aligns perfectly with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. Between September 2022 and September 2023, the van covered 4,812 miles, followed by 4,238 miles over the next twelve months, and 4,807 miles in the most recent year leading up to October 2025. This consistent annual mileage of roughly 4,500 miles indicates regular, steady use rather than prolonged standing or excessively high commercial strain. The odometer currently reads 166,243 miles, reflecting a lifetime average of approximately 11,874 miles per year, which sits squarely within the expected parameters for a 2012 model. Despite the pristine MOT record, a 14-year-old commercial vehicle with over 166,000 miles demands a rigorous physical inspection. The lack of advisories does not preclude the presence of wear awaiting the next test. A buyer should closely examine the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as high-mileage work vans frequently suffer from deteriorated damping and cracked springs that testers sometimes pass if they remain intact. Brake disc thickness and caliper operation require verification, alongside a thorough underside inspection for corrosion on the chassis and brake lines. Tyre condition and age also warrant scrutiny, as older rubber can pass a tread depth check while remaining dangerously perished.
