2014 Nissan NV400 SE DCI 2.3L Diesel · XCZ 343

The most recent MOT, dated 4 July 2026, was passed with no recorded defects, following a brief administrative failure on 28 June 2026 that also listed no faults. This pattern of consecutive annual passes, with only a non‑technical failure, indicates a stable maintenance regime and suggests that any required servicing or repairs have been addressed promptly over the past three years. At 116,893 miles on a 2014 Nissan NV400 SE DCI the vehicle averages just under 10,000 miles per annum, which sits comfortably within the typical usage envelope for a light commercial van of this age. The mileage progression shows no abrupt spikes or prolonged periods of inactivity that would raise concerns about uneven wear. Consequently, the drivetrain, gearbox and engine components are likely to have experienced normal wear rates, but the cumulative distance still warrants close inspection of wear items such as clutch wear plates, timing chain tensioners and fuel‑system filters. Given the clean MOT record and moderate annual mileage, the buyer should focus on age‑related deterioration. Inspect the tyre sidewalls for cracking, dry rot or uneven wear that can develop even on low‑kilometre tyres left stationary for long periods; verify that the tyre tread depth meets the legal minimum and that the spare is serviceable. Examine the 12‑volt battery for sulphation and check the electrolyte level if it is a conventional lead‑acid type, as batteries over twelve years often lose capacity even with modest use. Look for any signs of corrosion on the battery terminals, earth points and chassis, especially around the rear axle where moisture can collect. A thorough visual and tactile survey of the suspension is essential: check the condition of the front and rear bushings, ball joints and coil springs for any cracking, oil leakage or excessive play that could manifest as clunking over bumps. Inspect the brake discs for surface rust, scoring or glazing, and ensure the pads have adequate thickness and are not binding, as discs left unused can develop rust that leads to shudder on initial braking. Finally, confirm that all fluid reservoirs – engine oil, coolant, brake fluid and transmission oil – have been changed in line with the manufacturer’s calendar intervals; fluid can degrade over time regardless of mileage, leading to reduced lubrication and potential overheating. A test drive should be used to listen for any abnormal noises from the drivetrain, feel for any pulling or vibration, and verify that the vehicle accelerates smoothly without hesitation.
