Nissan Nv400 Acenta DCI (2021)
2021 Nissan Nv400 Acenta DCI
CarHunch analysed 486 real MOT records for the 2021 Nissan Nv400 Acenta DCI. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2021 Nissan NV400 Acenta dCi falls just short of the UK average with a 77.9% first-time pass rate versus the national 80%, suggesting it's a reasonably solid workhorse but not exceptional on reliability. Dangerous defects have shown up in 14.4% of the fleet tested, which is moderate—not a red flag, but worth factoring into your pre-purchase inspection.
At just under 48,000 miles median, these vans are still relatively young, yet they're averaging 0.66 failures per test and 2.2 advisories, pointing to steady wear rather than catastrophic problems. Before committing, have any candidate vehicle independently inspected for brake and suspension wear, which typically dominate the advisory list on commercial vans of this age and mileage.
What to check before buying a 2021 Nissan Nv400 Acenta DCI
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
