2010 Nissan Navara 2.5L Diesel · P4 AUE

The Nissan Navara maintains a generally stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by a consistent string of annual passes. The most recent test on 11 February 2026 at 170,955 miles confirms the vehicle remains in a functional state, though the presence of advisory items indicates the onset of necessary maintenance. While the vehicle successfully passed, the flagged front brake pads and the minor exhaust leak at the flexi joint suggest that the current owner has reached the end of the service life for these specific consumables. The vehicle has covered 170,955 miles over its sixteen-year lifespan, averaging approximately 10,685 miles per annum. This usage pattern is consistent and suggests the truck has been kept in regular operation rather than being left to deteriorate in storage. The gap between the September 2022 test and the February 2024 test represents a slightly extended interval, yet the vehicle returned to a steady annual testing cycle thereafter. The absence of major failure points in the last three years of testing points to a vehicle that has been subjected to standard wear rather than catastrophic mechanical neglect. Prospective buyers should prioritise a physical inspection of the front brake system and the exhaust flexi joint to determine the urgency of these repairs. Given the high mileage and the nature of the Navara platform, check the chassis rails and crossmembers for structural corrosion, as surface rust can often mask deeper integrity issues in these models. While the track rod end play noted in 2021 was a minor concern, ensure the steering rack and suspension bushes are free from excessive movement, as these components endure significant stress in high-mileage utility vehicles. Confirm that the exhaust leak is isolated to the flexi joint and has not migrated further down the system, which would increase the cost of rectification.
