2009 Nissan Navara 2.5L Diesel · CX09 ACZ

This Nissan Navara passed its most recent MOT test on 16 December 2025, yet the record shows an unusual dual entry—both a pass and a fail at the same mileage (121,625) on the same date. While no defects were officially noted, this anomaly suggests either a clerical error or a narrowly avoided failure that wasn’t documented beyond the test’s conclusion. The preceding MOT history from 2023 to 2024 demonstrates a consistent pattern of clean passes with no advisories, indicating the vehicle has not encountered recurring mechanical issues during those tests. However, the lack of any recorded faults—even minor—raises suspicion about whether the vehicle was subjected to a thorough inspection or if critical components were overlooked. The mileage progression of approximately 7,154 miles per year aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, though the gap between the 2023 January test (90,276 miles) and the 2023 December test (100,700 miles) represents a 10,424-mile interval—nearly 18 months—without an MOT. This suggests either prolonged off-road use or a period where the vehicle was not regularly driven, which could accelerate wear on suspension bushes, coil springs, and drivetrain fluids if maintenance was neglected. The subsequent 9,699 miles between the 2023 December and 2024 December tests indicate more regular usage, but the absence of advisories or defects in those records implies no obvious deferred maintenance. Given the lack of documented faults, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of high-wear components that often fail without MOT detection, such as the suspension bushes and coil springs for excessive play or corrosion. The binding brake calipers or unevenly worn brake discs—common in high-mileage diesel vehicles—should be checked for uneven wear or structural damage, particularly if the vehicle has seen heavy towing or off-road use. Corrosion at wheel arches, subframes, and exhaust mounts should also be examined, as these areas are prone to deterioration in a vehicle of this age and mileage. The dual MOT entries at the same mileage warrant scrutiny of the vehicle’s service history to confirm whether critical fluids (e.g., differential, transfer case) have been changed according to the manufacturer’s schedule.
