2014 Nissan NV200 1.5L Diesel · PO14 ACX

This Nissan NV200 has demonstrated a stable roadworthiness trend over the past two years, with no defects recorded in any of the five consecutive MOT tests. The most recent test on 2026-03-05—just four months ago—confirmed the vehicle passed without fail, despite the unusual back-to-back test dates in March 2026. This suggests the vehicle has been maintained at a basic level, though the lack of advisories or defects does not preclude hidden wear. The only anomaly is the redundant test on 2026-03-04, which failed for no recorded reason, though this may reflect administrative error rather than mechanical failure. The mileage progression of approximately 6,900 miles annually aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, with no abrupt spikes or prolonged stagnation. Since the 2023 test at 72,455 miles, the vehicle has accumulated roughly 10,600 miles in three years, indicating consistent driving rather than neglect. The gap between tests remains standard, with no evidence of extended periods off-road or storage that could accelerate deterioration. However, the lack of advisories in prior tests means critical components like suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake calipers may not have been formally assessed beyond basic pass criteria. Given the clean MOT history, a prospective buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of high-wear items not routinely flagged in standard MOTs. Focus on the suspension—particularly rear bushes and coil springs—for excessive play or corrosion, as these are often overlooked until they fail. The braking system warrants scrutiny, especially rear calipers and discs, for binding or uneven wear, despite no recorded failures. Tyre condition should be verified, as the absence of tread advisories in prior tests suggests either diligent replacement or a history of underinflation. Structural integrity, particularly around wheel arches and sills, should be checked for hidden corrosion, as this van model is prone to rust in high-exposure areas. Finally, the exhaust system and emissions should be inspected for leaks or excessive smoke, as these are not always captured in basic MOT checks.
