2018 Nissan NV200 1.5L Diesel · WK18 WVG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a reactive rather than proactive approach to repairs. While it passed its most recent test in September 2025 at 85,142 miles, this followed a significant failure involving multiple electrical and mechanical defects. The trend shows an inconsistent pattern where the owner appears to only address critical faults after failing an MOT test, as evidenced by the recurring failure of lighting components and suspension parts across consecutive years. The recorded mileage of 85,142 miles over eight years is consistent with typical commercial use, averaging approximately 10,600 miles per annum. The data shows steady progression between annual tests, with roughly 8,500 miles covered between July 2023 and July 2024, followed by another 10,000 miles between July 2024 and September 2025. This consistent usage suggests the vehicle is driven regularly, which explains the standard wear and tear on components like the ball joints and light bulb assemblies noted in the record. A buyer must pay close attention to the nearside front lower suspension arm ball joint, which was flagged as excessively worn in both July 2024 and September 2025. The fact that this fault recurred across two years suggests either the previous repair was not executed correctly or the component is subject to rapid degradation. The history also highlights a recurring issue with electrical failures, including indicators, position lamps, and fog lamps, which indicates a lack of basic pre-test inspections. Physical inspection should verify the integrity of the nearside seat belt buckle, which was noted as damaged in the latest test. The buyer should also confirm that the windscreen washer system is fully functional, as this was a recent failure point. Given the age of the NV200, a thorough check for corrosion on the chassis and exhaust system is necessary to ensure that the mechanical repairs have not masked underlying structural deterioration.
