Nissan NT400 Cabstar DCI 35.14 TIPPER TIPPING BODY-LOW MILES-NO VAT

Overview & First Impressions

We are delighted to offer this 2016 Nissan NT400 Cabstar DCI 35.14 Tipper – a robust, practical workhorse that is ready to get straight to work. Finished in White with a manual transmission and a 2.5-litre turbocharged diesel engine, this truck is the ideal solution for small contractors, tree surgeons, landscapers, general builders, and roofers who need a reliable tipping vehicle without the commercial VAT headache. With just 66,540 miles from new and two previous owners, this Cabstar presents a rare opportunity to acquire a low-mileage, genuine working vehicle. The vehicle is offered No VAT, making it an even more attractive proposition for the right buyer.

Engine, Transmission & Performance

Under the bonnet, you will find the proven Nissan 2,488cc (2.5-litre) turbocharged diesel engine, producing a healthy 136 bhp (100 kW) and a useful 270 Nm of torque – available from just 1,600 rpm. This provides strong, flexible pulling power when the tipper is fully laden. The engine is paired with a slick manual transmission and a 4x2 (rear-wheel drive) configuration, offering a composed and predictable drive whether on the motorway or navigating tighter urban sites. The combination of this powertrain means the vehicle achieves a combined fuel economy of 31.04 mpg, with an extra-urban figure of 34.45 mpg, making it cost-effective for daily use. The engine is Euro 5 compliant, utilising a DPF system to manage emissions.

Body, Dimensions & Practicality

As a Chassis Cab with a tipping body, this Nissan NT400 Cabstar is built for pure utility. The tipper body is in good working order and is ideal for moving aggregate, green waste, rubble, or building materials. The vehicle sits on a gross vehicle weight (GVW) of 3,500 kg, meaning it can be driven on a standard UK driving licence (Category B) in most cases – always verify your own entitlement. With an overall length of 4,862 mm, a width of 2,265 mm, and a height of 2,210 mm, it is compact enough for tight access yet spacious enough for substantial loads. The kerb weight is approximately 2,269 kg, leaving a respectable payload capacity. This is a genuine working vehicle that offers exceptional versatility.

Interior & Comfort

Inside, the Cabstar offers a surprisingly civilised working environment. The cabin is spacious and seats three occupants comfortably (including the driver). The focus is firmly on function, with durable materials that are easy to wipe clean after a hard day’s work. The driving position offers good visibility, while the manual gearbox is a pleasure to use. This is a no-frills interior designed for the daily grind, but it keeps the driver comfortable and connected. The vehicle is in honest, used condition commensurate with its age and professional history.

Service History & Condition

We are pleased to confirm that this Nissan NT400 Cabstar comes with a part service history, providing peace of mind regarding its mechanical upkeep. The low mileage of 66,540 miles is a standout feature for a 2016 vehicle of this type, often indicating lighter usage than a typical tipper truck. The bodywork is in solid condition, and the tipper mechanism operates as it should. This is a genuine, honest truck that has been well-maintained and is ready for its next owner. We have thoroughly checked the vehicle and it drives excellently, with no reported mechanical issues.
