2011 Nissan Navara 2.5L Diesel · FN11 JKF

The vehicle presents a concerning roadworthiness profile characterized by a trend of recurring mechanical failures and a lack of preventative maintenance. While the most recent test in July 2022 at 138,516 miles resulted in a pass, it followed a failure for an insecure exhaust system, a faulty indicator, and a persistent oil leak. This oil leak has been a documented issue since at least June 2021, suggesting the previous owner opted to live with a known defect rather than addressing the root cause of the seal. At 15 years old, the recorded 138,516 miles represent an average annual usage of approximately 9,200 miles, which is consistent with typical light use for a commercial vehicle. However, there is a significant gap in the data as the last recorded MOT was performed in July 2022. As of July 2026, the vehicle has not been officially tested for four years. This long interval leaves the current state of critical safety components, rubber seals, and structural integrity unknown and is highly irregular for an older vehicle like this Navara. A buyer must prioritize a thorough inspection of the suspension and drivetrain components. The history shows previous failures involving ball joint play, anti-roll bar linkages, and a worn prop shaft joint, indicating that the front-end geometry is prone to significant wear. The 2017 failure for missing wheel nuts across all wheels is a major red flag regarding past negligence in basic safety checks. Particular attention should be paid to the engine to verify the source of the persistent oil leak, and the chassis must be checked for structural corrosion, which is common on this model, especially given the age of the vehicle.
