Our Verdict
Overall, this 2018 Nissan Navara present
Ask the seller for evidence that the off‑side rear brake pipe corrosion and the anti‑roll bar bush wear noted on the 2026 MOT have been repaired, as these are safety‑critical components. If possible, obtain receipts for any recent brake or suspension work and confirm that the rear registration lamp now functions correctly. Check the service history for regular oil changes and diesel filter replacements, which are not shown on the MOT but are important for a diesel engine's longevity.
When negotiating, use the three recorded failures as a point of leverage; a modest reduction in price (around £500‑£800) is reasonable given the cost of addressing brake pipe corrosion and bush replacement. Verify that the tyre wear advisories from 2023 have been resolved – either by tyre replacement or by confirming that the current tyre tread depths are within legal limits. A recent tyre set will add value, while worn tyres could indicate further suspension or alignment issues.
Be aware that the Navara’s model group is known for occasional coil‑spring and headlamp failures, though these have not appeared on this vehicle’s record. A thorough inspection by a trusted mechanic can uncover any latent issues before you commit.
The 2.3‑litre diesel engine typically delivers around 35‑40 mpg on mixed driving, giving fuel costs of roughly £1,200‑£1,400 per year at current diesel prices. Road tax for a diesel Navara of this size falls into Band C, costing about £165 annually. Insurance groups for the 2018 Navara sit in the 30‑35 range, translating to an average premium of £600‑£800 per year depending on driver profile.
Maintenance on a diesel pickup can be slightly higher than a comparable petrol car, mainly due to diesel filter changes and occasional suspension component wear. Expect routine servicing and occasional parts replacement to run about £300‑£400 a year. Combining fuel, tax, insurance and maintenance, the estimated annual running cost sits in the £2,300‑£2,600 bracket.
During a pre‑purchase inspection, focus on the rear brake system, especially the off‑side rear brake pipe that was flagged for corrosion in the 2026 MOT. Look for signs of rust, leaks, or uneven brake pad wear, and confirm that any repairs have been carried out to a satisfactory standard.
Examine the rear anti‑roll bar and its bushings for wear or play, as the MOT noted a worn bush that could affect handling. A mechanic should check for excessive movement and replace the bushings if necessary. Also verify that the rear registration lamp now illuminates correctly, as the previous failure could indicate wiring or bulb issues.
Finally, inspect both rear tyres for tread depth and uniform wear, given the tyre‑edge warnings recorded in 2023. Uneven wear may point to alignment or suspension problems that could lead to further costs if not addressed.
The Navara has logged 62,743 miles, well under the model's average annual mileage of about 9,400 miles. Its MOT record shows three advisory failures in the most recent test and tyre wear warnings two years earlier, but otherwise clean passes. The vehicle’s white exterior and 2.3‑litre diesel engine are typical for this year’s spec, offering a solid blend of capability and economy. While the recent brake pipe and anti‑roll bar notes warrant attention, the overall condition is acceptable for an eight‑year‑old workhorse.
The Nissan Navara's aggregate MOT pass rate of 77.3% indicates a moderate reliability record, with coil‑spring and headlamp failures being the most common across the model fleet.

- Bottom Radiator Hose RubbingModerate
On early NP300 models with the 2.3 dCi engine, the lower radiator coolant hose runs in tight proximity to the engine accessory drive and air conditioning compressor pulley. Due to engine movement under torque or slight misalignment of the factory hose clips, the hose can rub directly against the spinning A/C pulley. Over time, friction wears a hole through the rubber wall, causing sudden loss of coolant, rapid engine overheating, and potential cylinder head damage if the driver does not pull over immediately.
- Turbocharger FailureSerious
The Renault-Nissan 2.3 dCi (YS23DDT single-turbo and YS23DDTT twin-turbo) diesel engine can experience premature turbocharger bearing wear and oil-seal failure. This is exacerbated by extended oil change intervals (up to 18,000 miles or 2 years under factory schedules), oil dilution from interrupted DPF regenerations, or heavy towing duties. As bearing play increases, the impeller blades contact the housing, generating a high-pitched siren whistle and passing oil into the intake, risking limp mode or diesel runaway.
- AdBlue SCR System Dosing Faults and Module Calibration (Recall R/2023/194)Serious
Euro 6 versions of the 2.3 dCi fitted with Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) frequently suffer from AdBlue dosing errors, crystallisation of urea around the dosing injector, and inaccurate tank level readings. In the UK, DVSA recall campaign R/2023/194 was launched to update the AdBlue Dosing Control Module software to increase online dosing efficiency across 28,292 Nissan vehicles built between May 2016 and May 2019. Unresolved software glitches or clogged injectors trigger an engine restart countdown that immobilises the vehicle once expired.
