2017 Nissan Navara 2.3L Diesel · GU67 WPD

The vehicle currently presents as roadworthy, though the maintenance history indicates a pattern of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test in September 2023 at 108,612 miles resulted in a clean pass following an initial failure for a defective nearside rear stop lamp. This suggests that while the owner addresses immediate safety failures to pass the MOT, the overall record shows a trend of allowing basic consumable items to deteriorate until the inspection threshold. The Navara has covered 108,612 miles over nine years, averaging approximately 12,000 miles per year. This mileage is consistent with a working commercial vehicle but places significant demand on the drivetrain and suspension components. A notable gap of nearly 25,000 miles occurred between October 2022 (83,832 miles) and September 2023 (108,612 miles). This high rate of annual accumulation suggests heavy use, which correlates with the accelerated wear seen on the brakes and tyres in previous inspections. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the braking system and suspension alignment due to recurring issues in the record. The October 2022 test flagged thin front brake pads and a nearside front tyre worn uneven on the edge, which often indicates poor alignment or worn suspension bushes. Given the high mileage, the inspector should also check for excessive play in the steering arms and signs of corrosion on the chassis, as the MOT record does not explicitly detail structural integrity yet. The repeated failures of bulbs and wiper blades further reinforce that minor maintenance tasks are frequently overlooked between annual tests.
