2009 Nissan Navara 2.5L Diesel · DA58 AAK

The vehicle presents a concerning maintenance profile characterized by a recurring pattern of deferred repairs and reactive rather than proactive upkeep. While the most recent test in June 2022 at 181,580 miles was a pass, it followed a significant failure just two weeks prior where multiple critical faults were identified. This suggests the vehicle is only serviced when forced by an MOT failure. The overall trend is unstable, as major mechanical components like the suspension and drive shafts repeatedly show signs of wear and failure across different testing intervals. The recorded mileage of 181,580 miles over 17 years reflects a heavy but consistent annual usage pattern of approximately 10,700 miles, which is typical for a commercial vehicle of this age. However, there is a significant gap in the data, as the last recorded MOT occurred in June 2022. Given the current date of June 2026, the vehicle has not been officially tested for four years. This lack of recent data makes it impossible to verify the current state of the drivetrain, braking system, or structural integrity after tens of thousands of unrecorded miles. A physical inspection must focus on the structural integrity of the chassis and the suspension. The 2022 record flagged corrosion on suspension component mounting areas and play in the offside front lower suspension arm ball joint. A buyer should check if this corrosion has progressed or if the mounting points are now structurally compromised. The offside inner drive shaft CV boot, which failed in both 2021 and 2022, requires immediate inspection for grease leakage or damage to the joint itself. Furthermore, previous failures regarding seriously weakened brake discs and thin pads in 2021 indicate a history of neglecting basic consumables, necessitating a thorough check of the current braking hardware for seized calipers or worn rotors.
