2014 Nissan Navara 2.5L Diesel · FM14 SKU

This Nissan Navara demonstrates a stable but inconsistent maintenance pattern, with the most recent MOT test on 23 April 2025—just three months prior to today—resulting in a clean pass at 124,500 miles. The absence of defects in the latest cycle suggests no immediate critical failures, though the October 2024 failure at 124,400 miles (a mere 12 miles before the pass) raises questions about test consistency or minor recurring issues not captured in the record. The November 2023 failure at 121,768 miles, followed by a pass at 121,788 miles, implies either a near-miss on a non-critical fault or a brief period of deferred maintenance. Without advisory notes or defect categories, the record does not reveal specific mechanical trends, but the repeated near-failures at similar mileages warrant scrutiny of high-wear components. The mileage progression of roughly 10,375 miles annually aligns with typical usage for this age, though the gap between the November 2023 and October 2024 tests—11 months—suggests a period of inactivity or limited driving. The 2022 to 2023 interval shows a more aggressive 6,577 miles in just 11 months, which could indicate heavier usage or seasonal variation. No extended periods of stagnation are evident, but the lack of pre-MOT servicing records means potential deferred maintenance cannot be ruled out. The 124,500-mile figure itself is consistent with a vehicle that has been driven rather than stored, reducing the risk of neglected fluid degradation or seized components. Given the sparse defect history, a buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of the suspension system, particularly the rear axle and coil springs, as binding brakes or worn suspension bushes are often flagged without explicit MOT notes. The brakes, while not explicitly failed, should be checked for uneven wear or corrosion on the calipers and discs, especially if the vehicle has been driven through wet or salted roads. Structural integrity is another concern—examine the wheel arches, sills, and subframe for corrosion, as rust in these areas can compromise the chassis over time. Finally, verify the condition of the exhaust system for leaks or excessive rust, as emissions-related failures are occasionally missed in MOT tests. The absence of advisories does not guarantee these areas are sound, so visual and functional checks are essential.
