2015 Nissan NV200 1.5L Diesel · SL15 CUJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a concerning pattern of reactive repairs. While the van passed its most recent test on 15 May 2026 at 120,503 miles, it failed just two miles prior due to critical issues including a nearside front suspension ball joint likely to detach. The recurring presence of worn suspension arm bushes across the last three testing cycles suggests that the owner only addresses mechanical faults when forced by an MOT failure, rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. The recorded mileage of 120,503 miles over 11 years represents an average usage of approximately 11,000 miles per year, which is consistent with typical commercial vehicle use for this age. The data shows a steady accumulation of mileage, with roughly 9,000 miles driven between May 2024 and May 2025, and another 8,800 miles covered between May 2025 and May 2026. This consistent usage pattern indicates the vehicle is used regularly, which explains the progressive wear seen on components like suspension and braking hardware. A buyer must meticulously inspect the front suspension assembly, as the record shows repeated failures of suspension arm bushes and anti-roll bar linkage joints. The 2025 failure also highlighted a major exhaust leak, an insecure silencer, and a split CV boot on the nearside drive shaft, which can lead to expensive drivetrain damage if not monitored. Given that the offside front brake discs were already pitted and scored in 2025, the current state of the rotors should be checked for thinning or uneven wear. The history suggests that while the vehicle passes the legal minimum, the underlying mechanical components are reaching the end of their functional life.
