2013 Nissan NV200 1.5L Diesel · MM62 BOJ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status with a consistent history of passes over the last several years. The most recent test on 18 October 2023 at 166,290 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, immediately following a failure on the previous day at the same mileage. This sequence suggests a minor compliance issue that was rectified quickly before the re-test, as the vehicle has since maintained a clean record without further advisories or mechanical failures. The mileage profile indicates high and consistent commercial use for a 13-year-old van. Between November 2020 and October 2023, the vehicle covered 49,631 miles, averaging approximately 16,500 miles per year. This rate of accumulation is significantly higher than the national average, which typically places an accelerated load on the drivetrain, suspension components, and braking system. The regularity of the annual tests suggests the vehicle was in regular use rather than sitting for long periods, which prevents issues with stationary components. Given the high mileage and the lack of recorded advisories in the MOT history, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on components susceptible to high-mileage wear. The tester must check for play in the suspension bushes, ball joints, and shock absorbers, which tend to degrade under heavy commercial loads. While the record shows no brake failures, the physical thickness of the discs and the condition of the calipers should be verified to ensure no significant binding has occurred. A thorough inspection of the chassis for structural corrosion is also vital, as MOT tests do not always capture surface-level rust until it reaches a point of structural concern.
