2017 Nissan Navara 2.3L Diesel · EX03 RAT

The 2017 Nissan Navara presents a clean MOT record with no defects recorded across five consecutive tests, the most recent being a pass on 8 May 2025 at 116,591 miles. This indicates a stable and well-maintained vehicle with no recurring mechanical or structural faults flagged by testers. The absence of advisories or failures over a four-year period suggests consistent upkeep and no emerging deterioration trends. The mileage accumulation tells a clear story of sustained high use. Between 21 July 2021 at 50,771 miles and 8 May 2025 at 116,591 miles, the vehicle covered approximately 65,820 miles in just under four years, averaging around 16,455 miles per year. That is notably higher than the overall lifetime average of roughly 12,955 miles per year. The jump from 96,077 miles in April 2024 to 116,591 miles in May 2025 alone accounts for over 20,000 miles in just over twelve months, pointing to intensive recent use, likely commercial or long-distance work. Despite the clean paperwork, a buyer should not treat the MOT record as a substitute for a physical inspection. High-mileage pickups endure significant stress on suspension bushes, coil springs, and drivetrain components, none of which may surface as a defect until the next test cycle. The rear brakes, brake discs, and handbrake mechanism deserve close attention given the typical load-carrying demands on a Navara of this age and mileage. Tyre condition and tread depth should be checked, as rapid wear is common at these mileages. Structural integrity beneath the load bed and around the chassis mounts warrants a thorough underside inspection. Surface corrosion on a nine-year-old working pickup is expected, but any deep or penetrating rust around mounting points, sills, or cross-members could indicate long-term exposure without adequate underbody care. The exhaust system and emissions components should also be examined, as high annual mileage can accelerate deterioration of catalytic systems and exhaust mountings well before a failure triggers an MOT advisory.
