2016 NISSAN NAVARA2.3L Diesel

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward suspension-related wear. While the most recent test on 17 June 2025 at 49,840 miles was a pass, it followed a failure just ten days prior. That failure identified a fractured offside front coil spring and oil misting on the nearside rear shock absorber. The fact that the shock absorber passed the subsequent test suggests it is at the beginning of its component life cycle rather than at point of immediate failure. The mileage profile is notably low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,000 miles per year. Between June 2023 at 40,936 miles and June 2024 at 45,403 miles, the vehicle covered only 4,467 miles. This low usage suggests the truck has not been subjected to heavy commercial loads, but low-mileage operation can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components and the potential of perished seals or seized brake calipers if the vehicle sits stationary for long periods without being driven at speed. A physical inspection should focus on the rear suspension and braking system. The tester noted in 2023 that the offside rear service brake was slower to apply than the nearside, and although this passed in 2024, a buyer should verify there is no binding or uneven wear on the discs. The light misting on the nearside rear shock recorded in 2025 requires monitoring to ensure it does not develop into a significant leak. Given the age and vehicle, checking the chassis for structural corrosion is also essential, as surface rust can occur regardless of low mileage.
