2013 Nissan Navara 3.0L Diesel · ETH 774N

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history shows a worsening trend regarding suspension and lighting components. While the most recent test in July 2025 at 87,907 miles passed, it revealed multiple advisories that indicate deferred attention to mechanical wear. This represents a shift from the clean record seen in 2022, suggesting that the vehicle is now entering a phase where age-related components require proactive replacement to prevent future failures. At 87,907 miles over 13 years, the Navara averages approximately 6,762 miles per year. This low-mileage pattern is consistent with light-duty use for a commercial vehicle. The data shows steady progression, with roughly 8,000 miles covered between July 2023 and July 2024, and another 4,000 miles in the following year leading to the 2025 test. This consistency suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to extreme stress, though low mileage often masks the effects of degradation on rubber components and seals. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension geometry, as the tester flagged play in both lower suspension arm ball joints in both 2023 and 2025. The recurring nature of this fault indicates the components are reaching the end of their functional life and should be replaced. The 2025 advisory also noted front tyres worn on the edges, which frequently signals an alignment issue or worn shock absorbers that need addressing to avoid premature tyre failure. The electrical system also warrants scrutiny following repeated inoperative registration plate lamps recorded in both 2024 and 2025. More significantly, the 2024 failure due to an inoperative engine malfunction light suggests that a sensor or wiring issue was previously present, which should be verified via a tool to ensure no hidden fault codes remain in the system. The defective nearside headlamp lens noted in 2025 should also be checked for moisture ingress or cracking that could lead to bulb failure.
