2012 Nissan NV200 1.5L Diesel · MF12 TFE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive approach to repairs rather than preventative care. While the most recent test in August 2025 at 120,480 miles resulted in a pass, the record shows a persistent issue with the central rear brake pipe. This specific defect was flagged in both the August 2024 and the August 2025 tests, suggesting that the corrosion was merely noted or masked with grease rather than being professionally replaced. At 14 years old, the recorded mileage of 120,480 miles represents an annual average of approximately 8,600 miles, which aligns with typical usage for a commercial vehicle of this age. The data shows consistent movement, with roughly 5,000 miles covered between July 2024 and August 2024, and another 5,100 miles followed by August 2025. This steady mileage suggests the vehicle has been used regularly, which generally helps prevent the accelerated degradation of rubber components and brake seals. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the underside to assess the extent of the corrosion noted in June 2022. The recurring failure of the central rear brake pipe is a significant concern, as corrosion on hydraulic lines often leads to sudden fluid loss if not fully addressed. Furthermore, the offside front CV boot which caused a failure in July 2024 needs to be checked for signs of grease leakage or tearing, as failure here would lead to an expensive drive shaft replacement. The history of pitted front brake discs from 2022 also indicates the braking system may be nearing the end of its service life.
