2017 Nissan Navara 2.3L Diesel · BJ67 DZP

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a clear trend of accelerating suspension-related wear. While the most recent test in November 2025 at 114,161 miles showed only a minor failure for an inoperative registration plate lamp, the preceding years indicate a persistent degradation of mechanical components. The transition from a clean record in 2021 to multiple suspension advisories in subsequent years suggests the vehicle is experiencing significant physical stress from its high usage profile. The Navara has covered 114,161 miles over approximately nine years, averaging roughly 12,700 miles per annum. This mileage is consistent with a working commercial vehicle but places high demand on heavy-duty components. Between the October 2022 test at 67,418 miles and the October 2024 test at 99,756 miles, the vehicle covered over 32,000 miles. This rapid accumulation of mileage explains the recurring appearance of worn bushes and ball joint play across both the front and rear assemblies. A prospective buyer must prioritise a thorough inspection of the front and rear suspension geometry. The record shows recurring issues with anti-roll bar linkage ball joints, pins, and lower suspension arm ball joints that were flagged in 2022, 2023, and 2024. Furthermore, the corrosion on the rear shock absorbers noted in 2022 and 2023 requires a close look to ensure structural rust has not compromised the mounting points. The repeated nature of these advisories suggests that previous owners were only replacing components at the point of failure rather than performing comprehensive preventative overhauls.
