2011 Nissan Navara 2.5L Diesel · DE11 ROU

The vehicle presents a concerning roadworthiness profile with a worsening trend regarding structural and electrical integrity. While it passed its last recorded test in October 2022 at 135,981 miles, the failure immediately preceding that pass revealed multiple critical safety issues. The presence of central chassis corrosion is a significant concern for a vehicle of this age, as it indicates ongoing structural degradation. Given that no MOT has been recorded for nearly four years, the current state of the chassis and safety systems remains entirely unknown and potentially unroad. At 135,981 miles over 15 years, the Navara averages approximately 9,000 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a light commercial vehicle. However, the data shows a significant gap in activity, with 7,288 miles covered between October 2021 and October 2022, followed by a total lack of testing since then. This lack of recent documentation suggests the vehicle may have sat stationary for extended periods or changed hands, which often leads to the degradation of rubber components and the seizure of brake calipers or suspension bushes. A buyer must prioritise a thorough physical inspection of the chassis to determine the extent of the corrosion noted in 2022. The tester flagged central chassis rust, which requires a close look for structural thinning or compromised frame members. The history of missing steering rack gaiters in late 2021 also necessitates a check to ensure the rubber boots are intact, as neglecting these leads to premature steering rack failure. Furthermore, the previous SRS warning lamp fault recorded in 2022 must be verified as rectified, as an active airbag fault represents a major safety failure.
