1992 Nissan Vanette 1.5L Petrol · J308 ERC

The Nissan Vanette passed its most recent MOT on 15 December 2025 at 82,240 miles with no defects recorded, indicating a currently roadworthy status. The maintenance trend appears stable, with the two historic failures in 2022 and 2024 showing no recorded defects, suggesting administrative or presentation issues rather than escalating mechanical decline. Recorded mileage sits at 82,240 against a 1992 build, an average of roughly 2,419 miles per year. The vehicle covered only 4,168 miles between the 4 September 2023 test at 78,072 miles and the December 2025 pass, confirming very light use. A short gap appears between the 28 July 2022 failure at 77,905 miles and the 14 September 2022 pass at 77,958 miles, after which the odometer barely moved until 2024. The MOT data itself is sparse and clean, with no advisories or worn consumables ever logged. Because no tester flagged suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions across the record, the Vanette shows no documented structural or mechanical risk. The two failures with zero defects imply the previous owners may have presented the van late or with minor non-logged preparation faults, not neglected core upkeep. A buyer should still inspect the underside for structural rust given the 34-year age and likely periods standing, and check brake calipers and coil springs for seizing from low-mileage storage. Verify the 2024 failure cause in person, as DVSA logs no defect detail to explain it.
