2017 Nissan NV300 1.6L Diesel · KT17 FLN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a trend of wear in suspension and steering components. While the most recent test in January 2026 at 144,897 miles passed, it introduced new advisories regarding the offside front lower sub-frame bush and an inoperative registration plate lamp. This follows a clean record from October 2025, suggesting that while the vehicle is maintained, it is beginning to show the effects of component fatigue consistent with high-mileage use. At 144,897 miles over nine years, this Nissan NV300 averages approximately 16,100 miles annually, which is high for a light van. The data shows significant usage intervals, notably the 27,634 miles covered between January 2025 and January 2026, and another 8,349 miles in the ten months prior. This level of consistent mileage accumulation places substantial strain on the drivetrain, braking system, and load-bearing components of the chassis. A buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of the front suspension geometry, as the record shows recurring issues with ball joints and track rod ends. The vehicle failed in May 2024 due to an excessively worn nearside front suspension arm ball joint, and similar play was noted in the subsequent pass. The January 2026 advisory regarding the worn sub-frame bush indicates that the structural mounting points are starting to degrade, which will require monitoring to prevent further handling instability. The braking system also warrants attention following the pitted and scored front brake discs noted in 2025 at 117,263 miles. Additionally, the loose nearside rear fuel tank fixing noted during that same period should be verified to ensure it has been secured properly since then. Given the frayed nearside rear seat belt webbing identified in the latest test, a safety check of all interior restraint systems is necessary before purchase.
