2015 Nissan NV200 1.5L Diesel · PF64 KXE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its latest MOT in February 2026 at 140,273 miles. However, the maintenance history shows a worsening trend regarding reactive repairs as mileage has increased. The vehicle failed a test just three miles prior to the most recent successful pass due to significant brake imbalance and inadequate effort at the nearside rear wheel. While these issues were rectified to achieve the pass, the recurrence of braking faults suggests the braking system is under high stress or lacks consistent attention. The usage pattern reveals a drastic shift in vehicle application. From its inception in 2018 until early 2022, the van covered less than 29,000 miles over four years. Since the January 2022 test, mileage has accelerated rapidly, adding 111,000 miles in just four years, averaging approximately 27,750 miles per annum. This high-intensity usage explains the transition from a clean record to frequent mechanical failures, as the vehicle has clearly moved from light-duty local use to a heavy commercial workload. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and braking components. The record flags a fractured offside front coil spring in 2024 and a corroded nearside rear brake pipe in 2025. Given the recent failure for brake imbalance, an inspector should check for seized calipers, worn brake discs, and signs of corrosion on brake lines along the chassis. The history of tyres being worn to the legal limit across multiple axles indicates that previous owners only replaced consumables when forced by failure, rather than performing preventative maintenance.
