2011 Nissan Primastar 2.0L Diesel · SN11 AXP

The vehicle presents a questionable roadworthiness profile, with the maintenance trend showing a pattern of deferred repairs and recurring faults. While the most recent test in January 2024 at 119,508 miles passed, it followed a significant failure just three days prior involving critical safety systems including ABS and SRS faults. The persistence of steering rack inner joint play and shock absorber-related wear across multiple years suggests that the previous owners addressed only the absolute minimum requirements necessary to pass the MOT test rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is relatively consistent with the vehicle's fifteen-year age, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per year. However, there is a notable discrepancy in the records between the December 2022 test at 121,312 miles and the January 2024 test at 119,508 miles. This drop in recorded mileage over thirteen months indicates either a clerical error by the tester or an odometer inconsistency. Given that the last recorded test was over two years ago, the vehicle has likely operated without a official safety check recently, increasing the risk regarding the current state of aging rubber components and mechanical seals. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection focusing on the recurring suspension and braking issues. The record has repeatedly flagged an oil leak since 2021, which requires a close look to determine the source and severity. Specific attention should be paid to the offside rear brake pipe where corrosion has shown up for several years, and the steering rack which has been a known point of failure for play. Additionally, the structural integrity of the towbar mounting and the chassis should be checked for deep corrosion, as corrosion in these areas is common on these older Nissan vans and can lead to structural failure if left unmanaged.
