2014 Nissan Navara 2.5L Diesel · FG64 AAX

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile based on the most recent MOT history, though the 2021 record indicates a period of mechanical neglect that required rectification. While the September 2021 test initially resulted in a failure, the vehicle passed immediately following repairs to the steering system and electronic monitoring components. The absence of advisories in the final recorded test suggests that the previous issues were addressed effectively, leaving the vehicle in a compliant state at the time of its last inspection. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per year. The record shows steady progression from 33,309 miles in September 2017 to 95,737 miles in September 2021. This pattern suggests regular, predictable usage rather than long periods of inactivity or heavy commercial overloading. The data remains relatively sparse for the most recent five years, meaning the current roadworthiness relies heavily on the quality of the repairs carried out in late 2021. A prospective buyer must scrutinise the steering and electronic systems due to recurring faults. The September 2021 failure highlighted excessive play in both nearside and offside front track rod end ball joints, alongside faults with the supplementary restraint system and the engine malfunction indicator lamp. These electrical and steering issues suggest that previous owners may have overlooked critical sensor and component maintenance. A physical inspection should confirm the integrity of the steering linkage and ensure no warning lights reappear on the dashboard during a test drive. Given the age of the Nissan Navara, focus should also be directed toward the suspension and chassis. Although the MOT history does not explicitly flag corrosion or structural defects, the transition from a clean 2020 pass to a multi-point failure in 2021 indicates that wear on consumable components like ball joints can occur suddenly. Checking the condition of the suspension bushes, drive shafts, and any signs of chassis oxidation is a necessary step to supplement the digital record.
