2013 Nissan NV400 2.3L Diesel · GG10 SMG

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, showing a stable maintenance trend despite recurring issues with minor consumable-related defects. The most recent test in January 2026 at 86,598 miles passed, though it highlighted poor tyre condition, specifically an offside rear tyre showing perishing and a nearside rear tyre reaching the legal limit. This indicates that while the vehicle meets minimum safety standards, the owner has neglected routine tyre replacements in the lead-up to the latest inspection. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a thirteen-year-old commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 6,600 miles per year. There is a notable gap in records between October 2016 and October 2017 where the vehicle covered over 17,000 miles, but since 2017, the usage has settled into a steady rhythm of roughly 4,000 to 5,000 miles annually. This low annual mileage suggests the vehicle was likely used for short-distance tasks, which can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber components and brake hardware despite the low mechanical wear. A buyer must pay close attention to the braking system, as the history shows a pattern of issues. The tester flagged a binding nearside rear caliper in 2020, followed by pitted and scored brake discs in both 2022 and 2025. The critical failure in January 2019 due to a defective brake servo and a fuel leak suggests that while major faults were addressed, the braking circuit requires a thorough physical inspection for fluid leaks or seized components. The recurring mentions of tyre sidewall cuts and uneven wear across 2017, 2022, and 2026 point to a lack of proactive maintenance regarding alignment checks. Given the age of the NV400, an inspection should also focus on structural integrity and corrosion and the condition of the suspension bushes, as these often suffer on low-mileage vehicles that sit for long periods.
