2021 Nissan NV300 2.0L Diesel · SM70 UUA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history indicates a worsening trend regarding suspension and minor component wear. The most recent test in January 2026 at 91,082 miles identified new defects that were absent in previous years, including an oil leak and an insecure coolant system. While the vehicle passed, the appearance of a failing nearside rear shock absorber with reduced damping suggests that the suspension system is beginning to reach the end of its effective service life. The mileage profile reflects a high-use commercial application, averaging over 18,000 miles per year. Between the December 2023 test at 52,604 miles and the January 2025 test at 72,867 miles, the vehicle covered 20,263 miles in just thirteen months. This rapid accumulation places significant stress on the drivetrain and steering components. The consistent flagging of slight play in ball joints and track rod ends across different intervals confirms that the high mileage is accelerating the degradation of the front-end assembly. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension geometry, as the record shows recurring issues with ball joints and shock absorbers between 2023 and 2026. The recent report of a non-excessive oil leak and an insecure coolant bottle requires immediate attention to determine if these are minor weeping or signs of seal failure. Additionally, the front tyres were noted as reaching the legal limit with edge wear, which often indicates an alignment issue that needs professional rectification to prevent premature further replacement. The pitted rear brake discs noted in 2023 should be checked for thickness to ensure they have not progressed beyond the minimum safety limit.
