2018 Nissan Navara 2.3L Diesel · DN67 WKG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a shift toward reactive rather than preventative care. While it passed the most recent test in March 2026 at 226,657 miles, it had failed just one week prior due to a fractured nearside front coil spring and thin brake pads on both front wheels. The fact that the brake pads were noted as thin immediately after a pass suggests that the components were reaching the end of their service life and were not addressed until the initial failure. The mileage profile is exceptionally high for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging over 28,000 miles per annum. There is a significant surge in usage between January 2024 (192,297 miles) and February 2025 (220,511 miles), where the vehicle covered nearly 28,000 miles in justization months. This rapid accumulation is consistent with heavy commercial use or long-distance fleetion, which explains the heavy-duty nature of the Navara but places considerable strain on the drivetrain, engine components, and front suspension assembly. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension geometry, as the fractured coil spring indicates that the front-end components are under significant stress or have fatigued. Given the high mileage, the entire braking system should be evaluated for uneven disc wear, piston corrosion, and caliper binding, as the pads were already flagged for thinning. Close attention should also be paid to the condition of the rubber bushes and ball joints, as high-mileage utility vehicles often suffer accelerated wear in these areas, which can impact impact precision and safety.
