2014 Nissan Navara 2.5L Diesel · DV14 XJL

This Nissan Navara has maintained a consistent MOT pass record over the past five annual tests, with the most recent inspection on 16 March 2026 at 171,478 miles confirming no defects. The absence of advisories or failures across all tests suggests the vehicle has been subjected to regular, if not rigorous, servicing—though this does not preclude hidden wear beyond MOT scope. The clean pass history indicates no recurring issues with critical systems like exhaust emissions, steering, suspension, or structural integrity, though the lack of advisories does not guarantee all components are at optimal condition. The recorded mileage of 171,478 miles over 12 years equates to approximately 14,300 miles annually, a rate significantly higher than average for a vehicle of this age. Between tests, mileage increments have remained steady: 5,423 miles between the 2025 and 2026 tests, 10,373 miles between 2024 and 2025, and 14,862 miles between 2023 and 2024. This pattern suggests consistent use rather than prolonged neglect, though the elevated annual mileage implies accelerated wear on high-stress components such as suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers. The absence of gaps in mileage or sudden jumps further supports that the vehicle has not been left unused for extended periods, which could exacerbate corrosion or fluid degradation. Given the mileage and the lack of MOT advisories, a buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of the suspension geometry, particularly the rear axle and steering dampers, as these are prone to wear at this mileage. The braking system—including rear binding calipers, front-to-rear pad thickness, and disc runout—should be scrutinised, as high mileage often correlates with uneven wear or glazing. Structural integrity, especially around wheel arches and sills, warrants close examination for corrosion, particularly if the vehicle has seen off-road use or exposure to salted roads. Finally, the drivetrain, including transfer case seals and differential fluid condition, should be checked for leaks or contamination, as these are less frequently inspected but critical for longevity.
