2008 Nissan Navara 2.5L Diesel · FV08 AEK

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a positive maintenance trend following a minor setback. The most recent MOT test conducted in September 2022 at 122,613 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This indicates that after an initial failure in August 2021, the previous owner successfully addressed the necessary repairs to bring the vehicle back to a compliant standard and maintained that standard. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for its age, averaging approximately 6,800 miles per year. The record shows a gap of 2,341 miles between August 2021 and September 2022, suggesting relatively low-intensity use during that period. However, because the last recorded test occurred in September 2022, the vehicle is now nearly four years overdue for its MOT inspection. This significant gap is a concern as it means the current state of safety-critical components has not been verified by a professional tester for several years. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the integrity of the chassis and suspension components, as Navaras of this era are prone to structural corrosion and worn bushes. While the 2022 test was clean, the passage of time since the last check means rubber components, brake lines, and tyres may have degraded regardless of low mileage. Inspect for signs of rust on the frame and check the condition of the brake discs, as the record does not provide data on the wear of these specific items beyond the final pass.
