2021 Nissan NV400 Acenta DCI 2.3L Diesel · TP04 PUD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach to servicing. The most recent MOT test in December 2025 at 92,176 miles resulted in advisories for thin rear brake pads and a nearside rear tyre reaching the legal limit. While the vehicle passed the test, the presence of these consumable issues suggests that the previous owner only addresses faults when they approach a failure point or an advisory threshold. The mileage profile shows high usage for a five-year-old van, averaging over 18,000 miles per annum. There is a significant surge in usage between December 2023 (41,066 miles) and December 2024 (65,509 miles), followed by another 26,600 miles covered in the final year. This rapid accumulation puts considerable strain on the drivetrain, suspension, and braking components, which is consistent with the recurring wear-related failures recorded in the history. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the nearside front drivetrain, as the constant velocity boot drive shaft joint failed in both 2023 and 2024. Although this was repaired to pass the 2024 test, the recurring nature of the fault suggests either a poor quality replacement part or harsh operating conditions. The inspector should also check the braking system for uneven wear and binding calipers, given the 2025 advisory on thin rear pads and the previous failure of front pads in 2023.
