2015 Nissan Cabstar 2.5L Diesel · SM64 OJD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the MOT trend is deteriorating, as evidenced by the single failure recorded on 2023-08-08, which occurred 18 months prior to the current date of 2026-06-18. This last test at 191,942 miles failed on multiple grounds, including a failing offside rear fog lamp, a severely binding rear service brake, and multiple suspension and braking components that have become loose or worn. The sequence of failures, particularly the severe binding of the rear brake and the progressive wear of suspension and bearing joints, indicates a clear trend of worsening mechanical condition rather than a stable maintenance pattern. Regarding the mileage context, the vehicle is approximately 11 years old with 191,980 miles recorded, representing roughly 17,453 miles per year. This high mileage rate is not typical for a 2015 Nissan Cabstar, suggesting that either the owner has been driving the car heavily for extended periods or the vehicle has not been maintained in a way that preserves its mechanical integrity. The significant accumulation of miles since the last MOT suggests that the accumulated wear on suspension components, brake discs, and drivetrain parts has become the dominant factor, outweighing the earlier passing of the first test. Consequently, a buyer must inspect the vehicle in person to assess the condition of critical components such as the suspension bushings, brake discs, and steering rack joints, as these parts are prone to corrosion and detachment. Given the severe binding of the rear brake and the progressive wear of the inner and outer suspension arms, structural integrity is compromised, and the vehicle may require immediate professional servicing or replacement to prevent potential accidents.
