2016 Nissan Navara 2.3L Diesel · 80 DCM

The most recent MOT on 9 June 2026 recorded zero defects at 96,732 miles, confirming a currently sound roadworthiness status. The maintenance trend looks improving, though the history reveals a pattern of deferred repairs. The tester flagged fractured coil springs and leaking brake pipe connections on 14 June 2024 at 78,808 miles. The following year on 10 June 2025 at 87,955 miles, the tester flagged excessively worn anti-roll bar ball joints and bushes across all four corners. The subsequent 2025 and 2026 passes confirm these critical components were eventually replaced, stabilising the vehicle's mechanical integrity. Covering roughly 9,673 miles per year, the Navara's 96,732-mile odometer reading aligns perfectly with a decade of typical use. The record shows consistent annual testing and steady mileage accumulation between tests. Between the June 2024 test at 78,809 miles and the June 2025 test at 87,961 miles, the vehicle covered 9,152 miles, and it added a further 8,771 miles by the June 2026 test. No significant gaps or sudden spikes in mileage appear in the record, ruling out prolonged periods of dormancy or abnormally high recent usage. Despite the clean 2026 certificate, a prospective buyer must physically inspect the front and rear suspension components. The repeated failures for anti-roll bar ball joints and bushes in June 2025, alongside fractured coil springs in June 2024, point to hard working suspension that may have endured significant stress. Check the condition of the replacement anti-roll bar links and bushes for early wear or play, and examine the coil springs thoroughly for any fresh fractures or corrosion. The 2024 failure also cited leaking brake pipe connections on an air braking system, which warrants a close look at the hard lines and flexible hoses for signs of historic fluid seepage or fresh corrosion. Given the rear tyres were flagged as worn close to the legal limit in mid-2024, inspect the current tread depth and sidewall condition, as neglecting tyre replacements suggests basic upkeep may have lapsed previously.
