2015 Nissan Navara 2.5L Diesel · AY65 MMF

A pattern of recurring suspension play and a recent failure for exhaust emissions define the mechanical history of this vehicle. While it achieved a pass on 20 October 2025, this followed a failure just one week prior due to exhaust emissions exceeding manufacturer limits. The record shows a trend of persistent advisories, particularly regarding the front suspension and braking components, which have appeared across multiple testing cycles. The recorded mileage of 112,105 miles over an eleven year period represents a typical annual accumulation of approximately 10,191 miles. This level of usage suggests standard wear on drivetrain components and consumables. There are no significant gaps in the testing history, indicating the vehicle has remained in active use throughout its life. Particular attention should be paid to the front lower suspension arm ball joints, which were flagged for slight play in three consecutive tests between 2020 and 2022. During a test drive, listen for knocking or clicking sounds when traversing uneven surfaces or when turning the steering wheel at low speeds. Additionally, the front brake discs were noted as worn, pitted, or scored on the inner faces in 2023 and 2024; a buyer should feel for any judder through the brake pedal during deceleration. The latest inspection highlights an immediate need for tyre replacement, as all four tyres were recorded as cracking or perishing, with the nearside front also worn close to the legal limit. The previous failure for exhaust emissions suggests a potential issue with the engine's combustion or after-treatment system. Observe the exhaust output for excessive smoke and ensure the engine idles smoothly without hesitation to verify that the emissions issue has been fully resolved.
