2013 Nissan NV200 1.5L Diesel · VE62 YAW

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a pattern of reactive repairs rather than proactive servicing. The most recent test on 20 August 2025 at 45,669 miles secured a pass following a failure just the previous day. While the immediate issues with the parking brake were addressed, the recurring appearance of brake related defects across 2024 and 2025 suggests that components are only replaced when they reach the point of inspection failure. At 13 years old, the recorded mileage of 45,669 miles is exceptionally low, averaging only approximately 3,500 miles per year. This low usage profile typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, yet it often leads to accelerated degradation of rubber-based components. The data shows a strange discrepancy in mileage between the August 2024 failure at 45,382 miles and the August 2025 failure at 46,695 miles, which indicates a potential entry error or a short period of intensive driving that led to the noted pitting on the front brake discs. A buyer must inspect the parking brake system thoroughly, as the offside mechanism was flagged as inoperative in both 2024 and 2025. The pitting and scoring noted on the front brake discs indicate the vehicle may have sat for long periods, allowing surface corrosion to damage the metal surfaces. You should also check for seized brake calipers and perished rubber hoses, which are common issues on low-mileage vehicles. Given the age of the van, inspect the suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls for cracking or dry rot caused by age and lack of regular movement.
