2011 Nissan NV200 1.5L Diesel · MA04 TAT

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. While the car passed its most recent test in June 2025 at 72,481 miles, this followed a failure just four days prior at 72,457 miles. That failure revealed multiple immediate issues including a split nearside front CV boot, incorrect headlamp aim, and lighting faults. The fact that these were rectified quickly suggests the owner only addresses mechanical faults when forced by the tester rather than performing routine preventative maintenance. At 15 years old, the recorded mileage of 72,481 miles is significantly low, averaging approximately 4,832 miles per year. This low usage often masks mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine, but it frequently leads to accelerated degradation of rubber components and seals. The data shows a consistent gap of roughly 5,000 to 6,000 miles between annual tests from 2022 and 2025, confirming the vehicle sits stationary for long periods which often correlates with the structural corrosion issues noted in the record. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the structural integrity and suspension underbody. The 2023 test flagged general underbody rust and corrosion on the offside rear suspension mounting area, while the 2022 record noted play in the anti-roll bar ball joint. Given the low mileage and age, this corrosion is likely have progressed on the sills and mounting points. Additionally, the recent failure for a split CV boot and edge wear on the front tyres suggests that the front suspension geometry or components may be reaching their service life, requiring a thorough check of bushes, ball joints, and driveshafts.
