2011 Nissan Navara 2.5L Diesel · DS11 VVF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than proactive repairs. In the most recent test in February 2026 at 153,212 miles, the Navara failed due to a non-functional windscreen washer and deteriorated drive shaft boots. While it passed upon re-test, the presence of advisories for the nearside front anti-roll bar linkage and a damaged windscreen indicates that mechanical wear is now being addressed only once components reach a failure threshold or become a visible concern. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 15-year-old utility vehicle, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per year. There is a steady accumulation of mileage between tests, with roughly 4,200 miles covered between January 2023 and February 2024, followed by 16,500 miles in the following year, and a further 13,000 miles between February 2025 and February 2026. This regular usage suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods periods but places consistent stress on heavy-duty components like the suspension and braking system. A buyer must physically inspect the front end for signs of grease leakage from the inner drive shaft joints, as the previous deterioration of the boots suggests the joints may be failing. The advisory on the anti-roll bar linkage ball joint should be checked for play, and given the thin brake pads noted in February 2025, the buyer should verify if the pads and discs have actually been replaced since that specific test. Given the age and mileage of this Navara, a thorough inspection of the chassis for structural corrosion is essential, as the MOT record does not detail the integrity of the frame members.
