2015 NISSAN NAVARA2.3L Diesel

This Nissan Navara has demonstrated consistent roadworthiness over the past two years, with the most recent MOT test on January 12, 2026, confirming no defects at 91,047 miles. The absence of advisories or failures in the last three tests—including the January 2025 and January 2024 passes—suggests the vehicle has been maintained at a stable level, though the single failure in January 2024 at 78,206 miles (later retested and passed) indicates a minor oversight rather than a recurring issue. The lack of emissions-related advisories or structural concerns in recent tests is reassuring, though the 2024 failure itself was not documented with specific faults, leaving a small ambiguity about the nature of the initial rejection. The mileage progression shows a steady accumulation of approximately 8,277 miles annually, which aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. Notably, there is a gap between the December 2022 test at 72,331 miles and the January 2024 failure at 78,206 miles—a span of nearly 18 months with no recorded MOT. While this period does not exceed the legal 12-month interval for retesting, it raises questions about whether the vehicle was driven regularly or stood unused during that time. The subsequent retest in January 2024 at 78,257 miles (just 51 miles more than the failure) suggests the issue was swiftly addressed, though the exact cause remains unspecified. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of high-wear components that are not captured in the MOT—particularly the suspension bushes and coil springs, which often degrade beyond visual inspection over 11 years and 91,000 miles. The rear brakes, while not explicitly flagged, warrant scrutiny for binding or uneven wear, especially if the vehicle has been driven through varied terrain. Corrosion at wheel arches, sills, and the subframe should also be examined, as rust can compromise structural integrity without immediate MOT consequences. Finally, the differential and transfer case seals should be checked for leaks, as these are critical but not routinely tested in standard MOTs. The absence of advisories does not preclude hidden mechanical degradation, so thoroughness in these areas is advised.
