2007 Nissan Navara 2.5L Diesel · KJ57 AEX

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-11-19 at 88,659 miles recorded a pass with no defects, but this followed a failure on 2025-11-05 at 88,650 miles, which also had no defects. This pattern of alternating passes and failures without recorded issues suggests inconsistent testing outcomes, potentially due to minor procedural oversights or temporary conditions. The 2024-11-07 pass at 78,651 miles and 2023-10-13 pass at 70,157 miles showed no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend in earlier years. However, the recent back-to-back tests raise questions about the reliability of the latest pass, as the failure just 14 days prior implies unresolved or intermittent concerns. The vehicle’s mileage of 88,659 miles over 19 years equates to approximately 4,666 miles annually, a low figure that may reflect infrequent use or prolonged periods of inactivity. This pattern increases the risk of component degradation, such as corrosion in exhaust systems or stiffness in suspension bushes, due to limited operational wear. Notably, the 2024-11-01 failure at 78,627 miles occurred just 24 miles before the subsequent pass at 78,651 miles, suggesting potential testing variability rather than mechanical deterioration. The sparse defect records across all tests imply minimal structural or safety-critical issues, but the low mileage warrants scrutiny of fluid levels, battery condition, and rubber components. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, as low mileage can lead to dry joints and uneven wear. The braking system, particularly rear calipers and discs, merits close examination for binding or corrosion, given the vehicle’s age. Structural integrity should also be assessed, focusing on rust in underbody areas, as prolonged inactivity may accelerate corrosion. While the MOT history shows no major faults, the frequent testing and low mileage indicate the need for a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm the vehicle’s mechanical and structural soundness.
