ABF-SKP2LN
Listed 2011–2017. The ABF prefix (our explanation, not MLIT’s) means petrol goods vehicle or bus certified to Japan’s 2005 emissions rules. Check ABF-SKP2LN against ULEZ and clean air zones.

Each row is one version as MLIT lists it. A version can appear twice when MLIT gave figures on two tests that year. Low-emission stars and trim names aren’t shown. MLIT gives fuel economy in km/L; the mpg figures are our conversion to UK gallons. Japanese tests are gentler than real UK driving, so expect less.
SKP2LN build year by chassis number
Japan’s carmakers list the chassis numbers each code was built with every year from 2015. Find the serial below, or use the build year finder.
| Built | Chassis numbers |
|---|---|
| 2015 | SKP2LN-102872 to 103703 |
| 2016 | SKP2LN-103704 to 103705 |
From the JAMA chassis number lists: 車台番号一覧表. We keep only the chassis code, serial ranges and year. JAMA calls them reference information, not a certificate.
Check an SKP2LN before you buy
Make sure the car is what the advert says: the chassis number on the V5C should start SKP2LN-, and the engine and gearbox should match one of the versions above. Our free check reads the UK MOT history and compares it with the chassis code.

What engine does the SKP2LN have?
MLIT lists the Nissan Vanette SKP2LN with L8 1,798 cc petrol.
What fuel economy does the SKP2LN get?
Officially between 9.6 and 10.4 km/L (about 27–29 mpg), depending on the version, on Japan’s own tests. Real-world figures are usually lower, especially against the older 10-15 mode test.
How heavy is the SKP2LN?
Between 1,400 and 1,410 kg kerb weight, depending on the version.
Is ABF-SKP2LN the same as SKP2LN?
Yes. ABF-SKP2LN is the full model type: the letters before the hyphen are Japan’s emissions code, which changed as the rules were tightened, and SKP2LN is the model code. The chassis number starts with SKP2LN-.
About these figures
The model types, engine codes, capacities, gearboxes, drive, weights, seats and km/L figures are copied from MLIT’s yearly lists of cars on sale in Japan each March, so “listed” years are list years, not exact production dates. The English model names, mpg conversions, emissions code explanations and chassis number matching are ours. Lists before 2013 were printed as PDFs that we read by machine; where an older list gives an engine code that doesn’t match its capacity, we’ve used the figure the same model type has in other years. Check anything that matters against the car’s own papers. Spotted a mistake? Email [email protected]. All Nissan model codes.
