2021 Nissan NV300 2.0L Diesel · KV21 DCZ

The vehicle's recent MOT history shows a pattern of worsening mechanical condition despite a successful pass in August 2025. While the most recent test at 90,434 miles cleared the vehicle, it followed a significant failure just three days earlier at 90,246 miles. The August 2025 failure included serious issues such as a cracked windscreen affecting visibility, a tyre cut reaching the cords, and an excessively worn Macpherson strut ball joint. Although the subsequent pass addressed the windscreen and the tyre, the tester still flagged a worn offside front upper strut pin and light oil misting on the offside front shock absorber. This Nissan NV300 has covered 90,434 miles in approximately five years, averaging roughly 18,000 miles annually. This high annual mileage indicates heavy commercial or long-distance use, which aligns with the wear seen in the suspension and braking components. A notable surge in usage occurred between August 2024 and August 2025, where the mileage increased from 66,599 to over 90,000 miles. This rapid accumulation of nearly 24,000 miles in a single year places significant stress on the drivetrain and chassis components. The recurring advisories and failures suggest a need for close physical inspection of the front suspension assembly. The offside front shock absorber has been flagged for oil misting in both the August 2025 failure and the subsequent pass, indicating a developing leak that may soon require replacement. The tester also noted a worn Macpherson strut pin and an anti-roll bar bush in recent tests, suggesting the front end is nearing a period of required component renewal. A buyer should also verify the status of the oil leak noted in August 2025 to ensure it remains non-excessive. Braking and tyre maintenance appear inconsistent. The August 2024 test flagged thin rear brake pads and multiple tyres with cuts or edge wear, and the August 2025 failure highlighted a critical tyre defect. While these are consumable items, the frequency of these faults suggests the vehicle has been operated under heavy loads without immediate attention to minor wear. A thorough check of all four tyres and the remaining brake pad thickness is necessary before purchase.
