2006 Nissan Navara 2.5L Diesel · FV06 CCF

The 2023‑03‑27 MOT, the most recent entry, recorded a failure with no defects noted, confirming that the Navara remains roadworthy but indicating that the previous owners have not resolved any underlying issues that triggered the failure. The alternating pass and failure pattern with zero recorded defects suggests a stable maintenance history without evident recurring faults. At 160,978 miles the vehicle averages 8,049 miles per year, which is typical for a 20‑year‑old model; the jump from 150,836 miles in the March 2022 pass to 160,978 miles in the March 2023 failure represents a 10,142‑mile increase over ten months, consistent with normal usage, while the earlier 56‑mile rise between the two March 2022 tests shows minimal mileage accumulation in that short interval. A buyer should therefore inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, examine the rear and front brake calipers for binding, verify the condition of the brake discs, and look for any structural rust or corrosion on the chassis and exhaust system, as these components are the most likely sources of the recorded failures. A thorough physical check of tyre tread, wiper blade condition, and a road test of the braking and suspension performance will help confirm whether the MOT’s zero‑defect record reflects genuine mechanical health or concealed wear that could affect long‑term reliability.
