2021 Nissan Navara 2.3L Diesel · CA53 AWC

The most recent MOT, carried out on 13 April 2026, was passed with no recorded defects, and the two preceding tests in October 2025 and October 2024 also returned clean passes. This uninterrupted sequence of defect‑free results indicates a stable maintenance pattern, with no evidence of emerging faults or a deterioration in the vehicle’s roadworthiness over the past two years. At five years old the Navara has logged 29,739 miles, averaging roughly 5,950 miles per annum. This figure is well below the typical UK usage of 10‑12 000 miles a year for a light commercial vehicle, suggesting either light duty work, occasional use, or periods of extended storage. Low annual mileage reduces cumulative wear on engine bearings, transmission gears and suspension components, but it can also be a warning sign of prolonged inactivity, which may lead to issues such as rubber ageing, corrosion of brake discs and caliper pistons, and battery sulphation. For a buyer, the first visual inspection should focus on tyre condition; even with modest mileage the sidewalls can harden and crack if the tyres have been standing for long periods, so look for any signs of perishing, bulging or uneven tread wear that could indicate mis‑alignment or worn suspension bushes. Examine the wheel arches and under‑body for any rust, especially around the wheel wells, sills and chassis rails, as standing water can accelerate corrosion on a vehicle that has spent time idle. The 12‑volt battery should be tested for cranking voltage and checked for any signs of leakage or swollen case, since a battery left on charge for years can lose capacity and may need replacement before a reliable start. Mechanically, verify that the brake discs are free from deep rust spots or scoring and that the caliper pistons move smoothly without binding; a test drive should reveal any shudder, pulsation or uneven pedal feel that might point to surface rust or seized hardware. Inspect the suspension for any cracked or worn bushings, and listen for clunking when applying the steering or driving over bumps, which could indicate deteriorated mounts despite the low mileage. Finally, confirm that the service book shows regular oil and filter changes at the manufacturer’s intervals and that time‑based fluids such as coolant, brake fluid and transmission fluid have been refreshed within the recommended periods, as fluid degradation can occur regardless of distance travelled.
