2005 Nissan Navara 2.5L Diesel · BT55 ABZ

The Navara presents a current roadworthy status following a passed MOT on 6 February 2026 at 147,731 miles, with the wider record showing a stable maintenance trend and no advisories or defects logged across the last three annual cycles. The February 2026 pass came on the same day as a failed attempt at identical mileage, though the tester recorded no defects either time, indicating an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical fault. Prior to that, the vehicle passed cleanly on 6 March 2025 at 145,645 miles after a 4 March 2025 failure at 145,630 miles, again with no faults listed. Mileage sits at 147,731 against a 2005 build, equating to circa 7,035 miles per year and reflecting typical use for a 21-year-old pickup. The gaps between tests are tight: 143,021 miles on 29 February 2024, 145,645 by March 2025, and 147,731 by February 2026 show low annual accumulation of roughly 2,000 to 2,700 miles. The DVSA data is sparse and clean, with no corrosion, brake, suspension, or emissions concerns flagged at any stage. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and chassis condition given the Navara's known susceptibility to underbody rust at this age. The clean record offers no evidence of worn suspension bushes, binding calipers, or fatigued coil springs, but the same-day fail-pass pattern in 2026 suggests the seller may have mishandled test booking rather than addressed faults. Verify the true reason for the 4 March 2025 and 6 February 2026 failures with the testing station, as the blank defect fields obscure what the tester initially objected to.
