2014 Nissan Primastar 2.0L Diesel · GN64 AEX

The vehicle shows a pattern of recurring suspension and tyre wear that suggests a reactive rather than proactive maintenance approach. While the most recent test on 27 October 2023 at 107,808 miles resulted in a pass, the record shows a history of failing tests due to worn components. The maintenance trend appears stable but shows persistent issues with suspension bushings and tyre degradation that the previous owner has consistently addressed only at the point of MOT failure. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 9,000 miles per year. The data shows steady progression from 33,394 miles in October 2017 to 107,808 miles in October 2023. There are no significant gaps in the annual testing history, which indicates the vehicle has been in regular use. The absence of recent MOT data since October 2023 means the current roadworthiness status is unverified and the vehicle's MOT has likely expired given the current date of July 2026. A prospective buyer should focus heavily on the rear suspension assembly. The tester flagged worn nearside and offside rear suspension arm pins or bushes in the 2021, 2022, and 2023 tests, indicating these components are a chronic weakness on this vehicle. The track rod ends have also been flagged for excessive play or risk of detachment in 2021 and 2022, so the steering geometry and front-end play require a thorough physical inspection. The braking system and tyres also warrant close attention. The history shows a pattern of worn brake pads and lipped discs, alongside frequent advisories for tyres worn close to the legal limit or wearing unevenly. This suggests potential issues with wheel alignment or suspension geometry that causes premature tyre wear. Inspect the shock absorbers for further oil misting, as this was noted as early as 2017 and 2018, and verify that all recent repairs to the suspension and steering have been completed to a high standard.
