2009 Nissan Navara 2.5L Diesel · AV09 AED

The vehicle currently holds a valid roadworthiness status following a clean MOT pass in March 2026 at 162,448 miles. However, the maintenance trend shows a period of significant instability around the major failure in early 2024. While the most recent test indicates no immediate defects, the history reveals a pattern of reactive maintenance rather than proactive care, as several critical mechanical issues were only addressed after they reached the point of a test failure. At 17 years old, the recorded mileage of 162,448 miles represents a consistent average of approximately 9,500 miles per year. The data shows steady usage, with roughly 10,000 miles covered between March 2023 and February 2024, and another 10,000 miles covered between February 2025 and March 2026. This regular accumulation suggests the vehicle has not sat idle for long periods, but it means components have been subjected to the typical wear and tear of a utility vehicle. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the rear structure and suspension assembly. The February 2024 failure highlighted excessive corrosion on the nearside rear upper structure that affected braking and steering, which is a serious structural concern for a vehicle of this age. You should also inspect the inner suspension ball joints and the anti-roll bar pins, as these were previously flagged for having play and excessive wear. Although the worn front brake discs and exhaust system were rectified following the 2024 failure, the presence of a heavily corroded rear brake pipe indicates that the undercarriage is prone to rapid oxidation.
