Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to high mileage, but the recent MOT history is encouraging. This 2010 Nissan Cabstar shows a consistent pattern of passing tests despite its significant usage.
When inspecting this white Cabstar, your primary focus should be on the high mileage. Ensure you request a detailed service history to see how the 2489cc diesel engine has been maintained over its 224,000+ mile life. High-mileage commercial vehicles often require more frequent attention to suspension components and heavy-duty consumables.
Negotiate based on the age and mileage of the vehicle. While the recent MOTs are clear, the sheer distance covered suggests that wear and tear on the drivetrain and chassis will be significant. Check for any signs of heavy load usage, such as excessive wear in the rear suspension or chassis corrosion, which is common in commercial vehicles of this era.
As a 2.5L diesel commercial vehicle, running costs will be higher than a standard passenger car. Expect moderate fuel economy typical of a light commercial vehicle of this size. Tax bands and insurance groups will depend on the specific weight rating and usage profile of the buyer.
Maintenance costs for a vehicle with over 220,000 miles can be unpredictable. While the recent MOT history shows no defects, you should budget for more frequent replacement of heavy-duty parts like clutch components, brakes, and suspension bushings. Estimated annual running costs are likely to be higher than average due to the vehicle's age and commercial nature.
Given the MOT history, there are no specific recurring failure types to flag, as the only failure in 2023 resulted in no recorded defects upon retest. However, with 224,985 miles on the clock, you should pay close attention to the diesel engine's performance, specifically checking for any smoke or unusual noises that could indicate injector or turbo issues.
Inspect the chassis and underside thoroughly for signs of corrosion, which is a standard check for older Nissan commercial models. Additionally, check the condition of the tyres and brakes, as these are common areas for wear in high-mileage work vehicles, even if they have passed recent MOT inspections.
This 2.5L diesel Nissan Cabstar, registered in September 2010, has covered 224,985 miles as of its last MOT in October 2025. While the mileage is substantial for a 16-year-old vehicle, the MOT records show a clean pass in each of the last three consecutive tests. There was one recorded failure in October 2023, but no defects or advisories have been noted in the most recent three years of testing.
No aggregate reliability data is available for the Nissan Cabstar to provide a statistical comparison.
