Our Verdict
Exercise extreme caution before consider
If you proceed, you must obtain a professional structural inspection. The MOT history shows a progression from 'chassis generally corroded' in 2023 to a 'fractured' nearside rear structure in early 2026. You need to confirm whether the repairs made to address the structural failure were comprehensive and if the corrosion has been treated or merely masked.
Negotiate based on the evident need for ongoing maintenance regarding the chassis and braking system. Ask for documented evidence of the work carried out between the April 7th failure and the April 16th pass in 2026, specifically regarding the nearside rear structure and the four corroded brake pipes. A lack of detailed invoices for these specific structural repairs should be a significant red flag.
As a 2.5L diesel pickup, running costs will be higher than a standard passenger car. You should expect moderate to high fuel consumption, particularly if used for heavy towing or off-road driving.
Tax and insurance groups for a 2011 Navara are typically mid-to-high range due to the engine size and vehicle weight. Maintenance costs may be inflated by the need to monitor and address the recurring corrosion issues identified in the MOT history. Estimated annual running costs are likely to be substantial.
A thorough underside inspection is mandatory. Focus specifically on the brake pipes, as every MOT since 2024 has flagged corrosion on the front and rear pipes. Check that these have been replaced with new lines rather than just being cleaned or coated in grease, as noted in the 2024, 2025, and 2026 records.
Pay close attention to the nearside rear chassis area. The 2026 MOT history explicitly mentions a fracture and corrosion in the vehicle structure. Inspect the quality of any welding or structural repairs in this area to ensure the vehicle's integrity is genuinely restored. Additionally, check the condition of the track rod ends and brake discs, following the advisories seen in the 2024 test.
This 2011 Nissan Navara has covered 114,129 miles, which is above the model average of 9,372 miles per year. While it passed its most recent MOT in April 2026, the history shows a pattern of persistent corrosion on the brake pipes and the vehicle's structure. A serious failure in April 2026 noted a fractured nearside rear structure, which was subsequently recorded as having reduced structural rigidity in the preceding failed test.
Aggregate data for this model shows a 77.3% average MOT pass rate, suggesting common mechanical or structural issues across the fleet.
