2016 Nissan Navara N-Connecta DCI 2.4L Heavy oil · DP66 EEN

The vehicle presents a clear roadworthiness verdict: it is roadworthy, but the maintenance trend is distinctly worsening. The most recent test on 2025-08-07 was a passing test at 162,416 miles with no defects, whereas the previous test on 2024-04-12 was also passing at 143,282 miles. However, the failure record on 2024-03-23 at 142,828 miles indicates a significant drop-off in performance, suggesting the vehicle has not been maintained in the required condition since the 2024-04-12 test. This gap of approximately two months represents a clear deterioration in the vehicle's mechanical integrity. The mileage accumulation is notable for a 2016 Nissan Navara, which is approximately ten years old. The record shows a rapid increase in mileage from 142,828 miles to 162,416 miles over the past two years, representing a gap of about 20,000 miles. While the 2025-08-07 test is a passing test, the substantial gap between the 2024-04-12 and 2024-03-23 tests suggests that the vehicle has not undergone adequate maintenance or servicing during the intervening period. The high mileage combined with the failure at the lower end of the calendar year points to a lack of proactive upkeep, likely due to the owner's inexperience or inability to keep the car at a safe speed. Given the failure on 2024-03-23 and the subsequent drop-off in performance, the vehicle requires immediate inspection for structural and mechanical risks. The most likely issues are worn suspension components, such as bushings, coil springs, or binding calipers, which would explain the increased wear and the lack of performance at the 2024-03-23 test. Additionally, the history indicates a lack of brake monitoring; the failure at 142,828 miles suggests that the vehicle has not been checked for brake disc wear or rotors at the time of the 2024-04-12 test. A buyer must inspect the suspension and brakes in person, specifically looking for binding calipers, excessive play in the suspension, and signs of corrosion or rust that would compromise the drivetrain.
