2016 Nissan Navara 2.3L Diesel · CE16 AEK

The 2016 Nissan Navara presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on its most recent MOT on 2026-02-10 at 57,617 miles, which resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. However, the vehicle’s history includes two consecutive failures in early 2026 at nearly identical mileages (57,577 and 57,617 miles), both without recorded defects. These failures suggest potential issues with testing procedures or minor technical oversights, though the absence of specific faults implies no critical mechanical or structural risks. The pattern of passing and failing without detailed findings indicates a need for further scrutiny of the vehicle’s systems, particularly if the failures were resolved prior to the latest test. The vehicle’s mileage of 57,617 miles over 10 years equates to an average of 5,762 miles annually, significantly below the UK’s typical usage for this age. This low mileage may reflect infrequent use or prolonged periods of inactivity, which can accelerate corrosion, fluid degradation, and component stiffness. Notably, the gap between the 2024-07-03 and 2025-07-01 MOTs spans exactly 12 months, suggesting consistent annual testing. However, the 2024-07-02 failure at 49,462 miles—same as the subsequent pass on 2024-07-03—raises questions about the accuracy of the records or potential unresolved issues. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension, brakes, and exhaust systems, as low mileage can mask wear in components like coil springs, brake discs, or exhaust emissions. The absence of corrosion or structural defects in the MOT history is reassuring, but the recurring failures without recorded faults warrant a detailed mechanical check. Pay particular attention to the braking system, including caliper binding and disc warping, and verify the integrity of the chassis and underbody for hidden rust. The vehicle’s maintenance pattern suggests sporadic attention, so a pre-purchase inspection is essential to confirm itsTrue condition.
