2006 Nissan Navara 2.5L Diesel · Y22 PCC

The vehicle remains technically roadworthy but the maintenance history indicates a worsening trend in mechanical wear and deferred attention. The most recent test in May 2026 at 163,498 miles revealed a significant increase in advisory-level faults compared to previous years. While the vehicle passed, the emergence of a severely deteriorated offside front CV boot and newly discovered play in both rear wheel bearings suggests that components are only being addressed once they approach failure points, rather than through preventative maintenance. At 163,498 miles, the Navara averages approximately 8,175 miles per year over its twenty-year life, which is consistent with typical light-duty usage. The mileage pattern appears steady, with roughly 1,600 miles covered between the October 2024 and 2026 tests, and approximately 2,500 miles between August 2023 and October 2024. This consistent mileage suggests the vehicle is used regularly, though the age of the truck places significant stress on aging rubber components and metal surfaces. A buyer must prioritize a thorough inspection of the suspension and drivetrain components, as the rear wheel bearings have been a recurring issue since 2022. The persistent pitting and scoring on the front brake discs across five consecutive tests indicate that the rotors have not been replaced alongside the pads, which can affect braking performance and accelerate wear. The offside front drive shaft boot is now in a critical state of deterioration, which will lead to grease loss and eventual and expensive CV joint failure if not replaced immediately. Structural integrity requires close scrutiny, specifically regarding the crossmember corrosion noted in 2021. Although the 2026 record states a structural repair was made without reducing rigidity, the history of rust on the rear crossmembers suggests the vehicle is prone to deep environmental corrosion. The recurring reports of tyres being worn to the legal limit across multiple years further supports a pattern of performing only the bare minimum required to pass an MOT.
