2007 Nissan Navara 2.5L Diesel · AF57 EAM

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance history indicates a persistent trend of wear within the front suspension components. The most recent test in February 2026 at 120,173 miles passed the vehicle with advisories for worn bushes on both the nearside and offside front lower shock absorbers. This follows a pattern of mechanical degradation seen over several years, including previous issues with ball joint play and wheel bearing wear. While the vehicle consistently passes its inspections, the recurring faults suggest the front end assembly is reaching the end of its service life. The mileage profile is remarkably consistent for a 19-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,300 miles per year. Between July 2022 and February 2026, the vehicle covered 5,061 miles, indicating a period of lower usage in more recent years. There is a notable gap between the July 2023 and February 2025 tests where the vehicle covered only 2,154 miles. Such low annual mileage can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components and seals, which aligns with the weeping and leaks noted in the record. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension and drivetrain system. The record has repeatedly flagged ball joints, track rod ends, and shock absorbers, so the buyer should check for any excessive play or perished rubber bushings. The oil leak noted in February 2025 at 119,079 miles requires close monitoring to ensure it is not worsening. Given the previous history of weeping CV boots and propshaft universal joint movement, the driveshaft assembly should be inspected for signs of grease loss or mechanical play. Additionally, the exhaust leak and flex pipe failure from 2018 suggest that the structural integrity of the exhaust line should be verified for current corrosion or loose hangers.
