2011 Nissan Navara 2.5L Diesel · DA11 OFP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a period of neglect followed by reactive repairs. While the March 2026 test at 95,670 miles passed, it revealed a persistent advisory for the nearside track rod end ball joint. This specific component has been flagged since March 2023, indicating that the owner has deferred replacing it despite multiple annual inspections. The significant failure in March 2025 suggests a period where multiple electrical and instrumentation faults were ignored, only addressed to allow for a passing result. The recorded mileage of 95,670 miles over fifteen years averages to approximately 6,400 miles per year, which is consistent with low-to-moderate use for a vehicle of this age. The data shows steady usage patterns, with roughly 3,400 miles driven between February 2024 and March 2025, and another 3,400 miles between March 2025 and March 2026. The low annual mileage suggests the mechanical components have not faced excessive stress, but it often increases the risk of rubber perish and corrosion due to periods of inactivity. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the front steering and suspension assembly. The recurring play in track rod ends on both the nearside and offside suggests the steering linkage is reaching the end of its functional life. The 2023 report of a binding nearside front service brake should also be re-checked to ensure the caliper is not seized or suffering from uneven wear. Given the extensive list of electrical failures in 2025, including the engine management light, ABS warning, and various lamps, a thorough test of all dashboard indicators and exterior lighting is essential to ensure no underlying wiring or bulb faults remain.
