2018 Nissan Navara 2.3L Diesel · BT68 XTW

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift towards mechanical wear as the mileage has increased. The most recent test in January 2026 at 90,946 miles resulted in a pass despite an advisory for slight play in the nearside front lower suspension arm ball joint. This indicates that while the vehicle meets minimum standards, suspension components are beginning to reach the end of their service life and require monitoring to prevent failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical light commercial use, averaging approximately 11,300 miles per year over the eight-year life of the vehicle. There is a significant jump in usage between December 2024 at 70,533 miles and January 2026 at 90,946 miles, where the vehicle covered over 20,000 miles in fourteen months. This rapid accumulation correlates with the appearance of wear-related issues on the brakes and suspension noted in the late 2024 inspection. A buyer should prioritize a physical inspection of the front braking system and the turbocharger area. The December 2024 record flagged thin front brake pads and pitted or scored discs, alongside an oil leak from the turbo. While the leak was not excessive at that time, the high mileage since then suggests the condition may have worsened or the seals may have degraded. Furthermore, the 2023 advisory regarding rear tyres worn on the edge suggests a potential history of poor wheel alignment, which should be verified to ensure no uneven wear persists on the current set of tyres.
