2018 Nissan Navara 2.3L Diesel · DP67 ACJ

The most recent MOT history for this 2018 Nissan Navara, tested just five months ago on 19 December 2025, reveals a stable but borderline maintenance pattern. The vehicle passed without defects after a single retest on 18 December 2025, suggesting no critical failures were present at 115,653 miles. However, the consecutive retest indicates the tester may have identified minor, recurring issues—such as worn suspension bushes or binding calipers—that required attention before clearance. There are no advisories or repeated failures in the preceding tests, implying the vehicle has not experienced progressive mechanical degradation. Still, the lack of defects in earlier tests at significantly lower mileages (notably 71,524 miles in December 2022) suggests accelerated wear on high-stress components. The mileage accumulation of 115,653 miles over eight years—approximately 14,457 miles annually—is unusually high for a vehicle of this age, particularly given the consistent testing intervals. The gap between the 2022 and 2023 tests (22,590 miles in just over a year) and the subsequent 12,000-mile jump to the 2024 test imply either intensive use or prolonged periods without intermediate servicing. This rapid mileage suggests heightened wear on consumables like brake discs, coil springs, and drivetrain components, as well as potential corrosion risks in underbody and wheel arches if the vehicle was operated in wet or salted conditions. The absence of advisories in prior tests does not negate the need for a thorough inspection of these areas. Given the high mileage and the retest in December 2025, a buyer should prioritise an in-person examination of the suspension system, particularly the condition of the coil springs, shock absorbers, and rubber bushes, which are prone to fatigue at this mileage. The braking system warrants close scrutiny, as binding calipers or uneven wear on discs could indicate long-term neglect or improper maintenance. Structural integrity should also be assessed, with attention to underbody corrosion—common in commercial vehicles—and the integrity of the chassis rails and subframe mounts. While the MOT record shows no major failures, the accelerated mileage pattern raises concerns about unrecorded wear on critical components, making a detailed mechanical inspection essential before purchase.
