2016 Nissan NV200 1.5L Diesel · WR16 BXL

This Nissan NV200 has maintained a consistent MOT pass history with no defects recorded across the last five annual tests, most recently passing on 19 May 2025. The absence of advisories or failings suggests the vehicle has undergone regular, compliant maintenance within the legal requirements, though the record does not reveal whether proactive servicing—such as fluid changes, suspension checks, or corrosion mitigation—was undertaken. The most recent test, just over three months ago, aligns with the standard 12-month MOT cycle, indicating no overdue or deferred testing. However, the lack of advisories does not preclude underlying issues; a thorough inspection remains essential to confirm the condition of non-MOT-tested components like drive belts, power steering hoses, or internal suspension wear. The recorded mileage of 27,885 miles over approximately ten years—roughly 2,788 miles annually—is unusually low for a vehicle of this age, particularly given the NV200’s typical usage patterns. The gap between tests shows no rapid accumulation; for example, between the 2022 and 2023 tests, the vehicle covered just 5,800 miles in 12 months, and similarly modest increases appear in subsequent intervals. While low mileage can imply lighter use or prolonged periods of storage, it also raises questions about whether the vehicle was driven enough to expose potential issues early. The absence of mileage spikes does not indicate neglect, but it does mean fewer opportunities for wear-related failures to manifest before testing. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an inspection of suspension components, particularly the bushes and coil springs, as these are not routinely tested and can degrade silently over time. The brakes, though not flagged in MOTs, should be assessed for uneven wear or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle has been stored for extended periods. Corrosion is another critical factor; the NV200’s underbody and wheel arches should be examined for rust, particularly around the sills and wheel bearings, as this model is prone to structural weakening. Finally, the exhaust system—often overlooked in low-mileage vehicles—should be checked for leaks or cracked pipes, as emissions compliance, while not strictly MOT-tested, can fail silently if components fail. The lack of advisories in past tests does not guarantee these areas are flawless.
