2012 Nissan Navara 2.5L Diesel · FH12 PVL

The Nissan Navara presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 2 October 2025 at 67,093 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing a clean sequence across the prior three years. No advisories or mechanical faults appear in any entry, so the recorded history shows no worsening or recurring defect pattern. Mileage sits low for a 2012 vehicle. The record shows 57,929 miles at the 6 October 2022 test, rising to 61,048 miles by 3 October 2023, 64,315 miles on 18 September 2024, and 67,093 miles by October 2025. That equates to roughly 3,000 miles per year, well under the typical average. The same-day fail and pass on 3 October 2023 at identical mileage is anomalous but lists no defects, suggesting an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Given the sparse and clean record, the buyer should still verify components the MOT may not expose on a lightly used, ageing 4x4. Inspect suspension bushes, coil springs, and chassis members for corrosion, particularly around sills and crossmembers where Navaras are prone to structural rust. Check brake discs and calipers for binding after standing periods, and confirm tyre sidewall condition given low annual use. The absence of advisories across five tests implies basic upkeep was maintained, though low mileage can mask degraded rubber and seizing linkages. A physical inspection beneath the vehicle remains essential before purchase.
