2018 Nissan NV300 1.6L Diesel · SL18 YMY

The most recent MOT on 2026-05-28 recorded a pass with one advisory: the offside registration plate lamp inoperative . This is a minor issue but indicates ongoing electrical or lighting system maintenance needs. The vehicle’s 87,499-mile record aligns with an average annual usage of ~10,937 miles, suggesting typical wear for its 8-year age. No major defects were reported in this test, but recurring issues in prior MOTs highlight systemic concerns. A pattern of brake disc wear , tyre wear , and suspension component degradation emerges across multiple MOTs. In 2025-05-29, both front and rear brake discs showed pitting or scoring, while corrosion on brake pipes and worn tyres were repeatedly noted. A 2024-05-30 failed MOT revealed a fractured offside front coil spring and excessively worn suspension ball joints , indicating potential structural or alignment issues. These defects suggest progressive wear in critical safety systems, though some were addressed by 2025. The trend shows mixed results : while recent tests passed, older records include serious defects (e.g., fractured springs, ABS faults) that could signal long-term neglect or heavy use. The 2024-05-30 failed MOT also highlighted electrical faults , including non-functional stop lamps and ABS warning indicators, which may point to wiring or sensor issues.
