2013 Nissan NV400 2.3L Diesel · JA05 JAM

The most recent MOT test on 2024-06-26 confirms the vehicle remains roadworthy at 156,673 miles, with no defects or advisories recorded. This represents a stable maintenance trend over the past two years, as both the 2023 and 2022 tests also passed without failings. The absence of recurring issues suggests the vehicle has not experienced persistent mechanical or structural problems during this period. However, the duplicate entry for 2023-06-17—where the test was initially failed before being retested—indicates a minor administrative anomaly rather than a technical concern, as no defects were logged in either instance. The mileage progression reveals an unusually high annual average of approximately 12,052 miles, particularly notable given the vehicle’s age. Between the 2021 test at 95,426 miles and the 2022 test at 136,381 miles, there was a significant jump of 40,955 miles in just under a year, suggesting either intensive use or a period of active ownership. The gap between the 2021 and 2022 tests—approximately 14 months—also indicates the vehicle was likely in regular service during that interval. While this high mileage implies accelerated wear on consumables like tyres, brakes, and suspension components, the consistent passing MOTs imply these elements were either replaced or maintained proactively between tests. Given the lack of recorded defects, a buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of high-wear items that are not captured in MOT testing. Focus on the suspension system, particularly the rear coil springs and bushes, which are prone to fatigue at this mileage. The brakes, though not failed, should be checked for uneven wear or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle has been driven hard. Exhaust emissions systems, while not flagged, may warrant verification given the age and mileage, as catalytic converters can degrade over time. Additionally, inspect the underbody for corrosion, particularly around the sills, wheel arches, and subframe, as structural integrity is critical for vehicles of this age. The absence of advisories in recent tests suggests these areas may have been addressed, but visual confirmation is essential.
