2018 Nissan Navara 2.3L Diesel · CP68 ABZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the records indicate a worsening trend regarding the front braking system. The most recent test in February 2026 at 53,672 miles flagged the front brake discs as worn, pitted, and scored on the inner edges of both sides. This follows an advisory from February 2025 at 49,544 miles where the same components were noted as worn but not excessive. While the vehicle passed the test, the progressive degradation of the braking hardware suggests a lack of preventative maintenance or component replacement despite consistent warnings. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eight-year-old commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 6,700 miles per year. Between February 2023 and February 2026, the vehicle covered 12,713 miles, showing steady but low usage. However, a gap exists in early January 2022 where two tests were conducted within four days, resulting in a failure for headlamp aim and thin pads followed by a pass. The low overall mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and suspension, but it often contributes to the corrosion now seen on the brake discs. A physical inspection must focus on the front braking assembly and the structural integrity of the chassis. The pitting and scoring on the discs indicate they likely require immediate replacement alongside new pads to ensure effective stopping power and prevent caliper binding issues. Because the 2022 record noted that undertrays prevented a full inspection, a buyer should request these trays be removed to check the frame and suspension mounting points for hidden corrosion or structural damage that may have been obscured from the tester in previous years.
