2011 Nissan Navara 2.5L Diesel · GU11 NUX

A recurring pattern of lighting faults and suspension wear defines the recent roadworthiness history of this vehicle. While the latest test on 15 October 2025 resulted in a pass with no defects, the preceding records show a trend of failures involving headlamp aim, side repeaters, and a fractured offside front coil spring. This suggests a vehicle that has required frequent interventions to remain compliant with safety standards. The recorded mileage of 155,386 miles over 15 years represents an average annual accumulation of approximately 10,359 miles. This is a typical usage profile for a vehicle of this class and age. Mechanically, this mileage indicates that consumables and structural components, particularly those in the front end, are subject to significant wear and tear, which aligns with the documented issues regarding suspension and braking components. Specific attention must be given to the front suspension and braking system during a physical inspection. The history of a fractured offside front coil spring and a worn bush on the offside front lower shock absorber necessitates a careful test drive; listen for knocking or rattling sounds when driving over bumps or turning the steering lock. The 2024 advisories regarding pitted and scored front brake discs and a split nearside front lower arm ball joint dust cover are also critical. Feel for any pulsation through the brake pedal or instability in the steering, which may indicate that these components have not been fully addressed. The repeated failure of headlamp aim and registration plate lamps indicates a susceptibility to electrical or adjustment issues. Verify that all lighting is operational and that the beams are correctly aligned. Given the vehicle's age and the nature of the suspension failures, a thorough check for corrosion on the subframe and chassis is advised to ensure the structural integrity has not been compromised.
