2015 Nissan NV400 2.3L Diesel · SM64 OJA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a clear shift towards worsening mechanical and structural condition. While it passed the most recent test in December 2025 at 130,359 miles, the volume of new advisories and minor defects indicates a decline in preventative maintenance. The transition from a clean record in 2022 and 2023 to a list of significant component degradation suggests that the vehicle is now entering a phase of accelerated wear requirements. At 130,359 miles over eleven years, this NISS NV400 has averaged approximately 11,850 miles per year, which is consistent with typical commercial use for this age. The mileage accumulation remains steady, with roughly 3,500 miles covered between the November 2024 and December 2025 tests. This consistent usage suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of standing, but it has subjected the chassis to constant stress, particularly on the braking systems, which are now appearing in the MOT history. A buyer must prioritise a thorough inspection of the structural integrity, as the 2025 test flagged corrosion on the front suspension mounting tops. Although the tester noted that structural rigidity was not yet significantly reduced, rust in these areas often progresses rapidly on vans if not monitored. The recurring issue of corroded brake pipes across all four corners, which were noted covered in grease, suggests a history of messy maintenance that has obscured the extent of the decay. These pipes require inspection for replacement to prevent a catastrophic failure of the braking system. The suspension and tyres also require close attention. Both nearside and offside front coil springs were flagged for corrosion in late 2025. The history of thin tyres and worn brake pads across multiple tests indicates a pattern of reactive rather than proactive parts replacement. Given the noted pitting and scoring on the front discs, a buyer should verify the remaining life of the pads and check for any seized components before finalizing the purchase.
