NISSAN NAVARA2018 · 2.3L DIESEL

The vehicle currently holds a clean roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT in December 2025 at 56,868 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows significant improvement following a period of mechanical neglect in late 2023. While the vehicle previously struggled with braking and tyre issues, the subsequent tests indicate that the owner addressed the identified faults, bringing the vehicle back to a standard of compliance. At 56,868 miles over eight years, the Nissan Navara has averaged approximately 7,100 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a light commercial vehicle. The mileage accumulation is consistent, with roughly 9,500 miles covered between the December 2024 and December 2025 tests. This low-mileage profile suggests the drivetrain and engine components may have less wear than average, though low annual mileage can sometimes point to the degradation of rubber-based components if the vehicle sat stationary for extended periods. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and front end geometry. The failure in December 2023 was caused by imbalanced brakes across an axle and an excessively binding nearside rear service brake, suggesting that the calipers or sliders may suffer from corrosion or seizing. While these passed in later tests, a manual check for uneven pad wear or heat scoring on the discs is necessary to ensure the issue was fully rectified rather than merely masked. The history also reveals a recurring issue with front tyre wear and condition. In December 2023, the nearside front tyre was flagged for wearing on the edge, and by December 2024, both front tyres showed signs of perishing or being near the limit. This pattern indicates potential alignment issues or worn suspension bushes that have persisted despite the low mileage. Inspect the front suspension and control arm bushings for play to ensure the vehicle is not causing premature tyre degradation.
