2019 Nissan Navara 2.3L Diesel · EX19 XKF

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, but the maintenance trend shows signs of emerging mechanical wear. In the most recent test on 5 August 2025 at 37,553 miles, the tester identified imbalanced rear brakes that only marginally met the legal threshold. This, combined with a new advisory for nearside rear axle oil seal seepage, indicates a shift from the clean records seen in previous years toward a state where minor mechanical components are beginning to require proactive attention. The mileage profile is notably low for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,365 miles per year. Between February 2023 at 26,865 miles and August 2024 at 29,840 miles, the vehicle covered just 2,975 miles, followed by a jump of 7,713 miles in the following year. While low annual mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, the long intervals between use can lead to rubber-based components becoming brittle or brake components seizing due due to inactivity. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the rear braking system to determine if the imbalance is caused by sticking calipers or uneven pad wear. The reported oil seal seepage on the rear axle requires a close look to ensure it is not a significant leak that could eventually lead to differential failure if it persists. Given the age of the Navara and the low mileage, checking for cracks in suspension bushes and perished seals is essential, as these parts often degrade through time and exposure rather than through distance travelled.
