2010 Nissan Navara 2.5L Diesel · BF60 VTX

OVERALL VERDICT: The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 8th September 2025 at 96,750 miles following a failure on the same day due to a seriously defective nearside rear position lamp lens. The maintenance trend shows consistent deterioration across multiple systems with recurring failures in lighting, braking, exhaust, and structural corrosion issues. The pattern indicates accumulating wear rather than resolving problems, with new defects appearing alongside persistent existing ones. MILEAGE & WEAR PROFILE: The vehicle has accumulated 96,750 miles over sixteen years, representing approximately 6,047 miles annually, which aligns with typical usage patterns for this age group. The steady progression from 89,896 miles in September 2023 to 96,750 miles in September 2025 reflects consistent usage without significant standing periods. This mileage rate supports the observed wear patterns in brake components, suspension elements, and exhaust systems as consistent with normal depreciation rather than sudden deterioration. CRITICAL IN-PERSON CHECKS: Prospective buyers must inspect the front brake pads which were recorded as wearing thin in the latest test, along with the corroded nearside front brake pipe noted since 2023. The steering pump noise requires assessment for operational safety and potential replacement costs. Structural corrosion around mountings needs detailed examination to verify it remains within acceptable limits for structural integrity. The exhaust system requires checking for mounting security and gas leaks. The anti-roll bar linkage ball joint showing excessive wear from the 2024 failure must be inspected for current condition, alongside the offside rear wheel bearing with previous slight play. Multiple oil leaks from various components indicate ongoing sealing issues requiring attention.
