2014 Nissan Navara 2.5L Diesel · EA64 PYP

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a pattern of reactive repairs rather than preventative care. The most recent test in November 2025 at 176,887 miles flagged only an offside front lower suspension arm ball joint with slight play. This represents a significant improvement from the major failure in October 2023 where multiple critical steering and suspension components failed. While the vehicle passed its latest inspection, the history of recurring wear-related faults suggests that components are only addressed once they reach the point of an MOT failure. At 176,887 miles, this 12-year-old Navara reflects an average of approximately 14,700 miles per year, indicating heavy commercial or utility use. The mileage data shows consistent usage, with roughly 12,400 miles driven between the November 2024 and November 2025 tests. This high annual mileage places considerable strain on the drivetrain and heavy suspension assembly. The clean record in November 2024 at 170,456 miles suggests a brief period of stability, but the high accumulation rate ensures that mechanical components are nearing their service limits frequently. A buyer must inspect the front-end geometry closely, as the record shows a history of failing ball joints, track rod ends, and wheel bearings. The offside front wheel bearing failure in 2023 was severe enough to impair directional control, and the current advisory on the lower arm ball joint indicates suspension wear is ongoing. The buyer should also verify the front propshaft joints for play or leaks, as these were previously flagged as an imminent failure. Additionally, the exhaust system should be checked for sagging or vibration, as the silencer mounts were noted as broken in previous tests despite being secure.
