2017 Nissan NV300 1.6L Diesel · SL17 TVC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a clean pass on May 15, 2026 at 77,169 miles. However, the maintenance history reveals a worsening trend regarding suspension and steering component integrity. While the most recent test showed no defects, the failure just two days prior highlighted multiple critical failures in the front end, including the anti-roll bar linkage, track rod end, and a lower suspension arm ball joint. This suggests a pattern where components are only addressed once they reach a failure point rather than through proactive preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 8,500 miles per annum. Data shows steady usage, moving from 45,295 miles in April 2021 to 77,169 miles by May 2026. There are no significant gaps in testing that would suggest long periods of inactivity, though the frequency of failures has increased in the last three years as the vehicle surpassed the 70,000-mile mark, which often coincides with age-related rubber and ball joint failures. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front-side suspension geometry, as the record shows recurring issues with ball joints and linkages. The history of fractured rear coil springs in both 2023 and 2025 indicates the vehicle may have been subjected to heavy loads or that the components are reaching the end of their fatigue life. Additionally, the repeated mentions of perishing and cracking tyres across 2025 and 2026 suggest the previous owner neglected basic consumable upkeep, necessitating a close check of the current tyres for uneven wear which would indicate underlying alignment issues.
