2016 Nissan Navara 2.3L Diesel · FN66 WHX

A broadly clean roadworthiness record defines this 2016 Nissan Navara, with seven consecutive passes logged between November 2019 and the most recent test on 22 November 2025, and no recorded failures across the entire visible MOT history. The only items flagged have been minor advisories rather than defects serious enough to cause a fail, and the last two tests in November 2024 and November 2025 returned no defects at all, indicating the vehicle has maintained its roadworthy status without escalating mechanical concerns. The handful of advisories on file relate exclusively to tyres and brake pads, none of which have recurred or compounded into something more serious, so the overall trend is one of stable compliance with the MOT standard rather than any progressive deterioration. There is no recorded evidence of structural corrosion, suspension component wear, exhaust emissions issues, lighting defects, or brake hydraulic problems across the seven-year testing window. With 55,730 miles accumulated over roughly a decade, this Navara has covered an average of around 5,500 miles per year, which is well below typical usage for a working pickup of this class. This level of annual mileage could reflect either genuinely light private use or significant periods of standing, and both carry distinct mechanical implications worth weighing. Low accumulation reduces wear on major drivetrain and suspension components but can allow certain items to deteriorate through disuse, and the recorded gaps between tests are consistent and annual rather than suggesting any prolonged off-road lay-up. The mileage progression between tests appears steady without any sudden jumps that might indicate incorrect odometer readings or undisclosed heavy use. The advisory for front brake pads wearing thin in November 2020 is now five years old and would reasonably have led to replacement by the current odometer reading, so on a test drive the buyer should listen for any binding or scraping from the front calipers, feel for any pulling to one side under braking, and check for uneven wear across the disc surface. The rear tyre cracking and perishing advisories from November 2022, combined with the front tyre edge wear advisory from November 2023, point to a vehicle that has spent significant time parked on driveways or stands, which accelerates sidewall deterioration through UV exposure and ozone damage regardless of tread depth. When inspecting, examine the sidewalls carefully for any hairline cracks, check that all four tyres are of matching age and manufacturer, and be alert to any tramline tracking or steering wander that might indicate uneven front tyre wear has now affected the tracking geometry. Given that no suspension, steering, exhaust, or structural advisories have appeared, the buyer should still carry out a thorough physical check of the leaf springs, shackles, and rear axle mounting points, as these are known wear items on Navara chassis of this era even when not flagged at MOT. Listen for clonking over speed bumps or uneven road surfaces, which would suggest worn suspension bushes or top mounts, and inspect the underbody for fresh surface corrosion or any oily residue around the differential and transfer case. A road test should include a low-speed lock-to-lock steering check for any knocking or roughness, and a steady motorway run to confirm there is no vibration through the steering wheel or drivetrain shunt that might indicate worn universal joints or propshaft imbalance. Given the low annual mileage, the clutch bite point and gearbox selection should be exercised carefully when cold, as light use can mask developing issues that only present with regular driving.
