2004 Nissan Navara 2.5L Diesel · HF54 DZX

The vehicle presents a concerning roadworthiness profile characterized by a trend of worsening structural and mechanical neglect. While it passed its most recent test in July 2023 at 115,576 miles, the record reveals significant structural issues including a corroded rear crossmember and broken exhaust mountings. These findings indicate that the structural integrity of the chassis is actively degrading, marking a sharp decline from the clean test result achieved in February 2021. At a recorded mileage of 115,576 miles over 22 years, the vehicle has averaged only approximately 5,253 miles per year. However, the data shows irregular usage patterns. There is a notable gap between January 2019 and February 2021 where the vehicle covered only 4,066 miles, followed by a rapid accumulation of over 16,000 miles in the subsequent 27 months. This low annual mileage often points to long periods of standing, which correlates with the observed deterioration of rubber components and the progression of age-related corrosion. A physical inspection must prioritize the state of the rear crossmember and general underbody corrosion, as the rust noted in 2019 and 2023 appears to be advancing. The buyer should also scrutinize the front suspension geometry, specifically the steering linkage ball joints and anti-roll bar bushes which were flagged in May 2022. Furthermore, the braking system requires close attention for binding calipers, as this issue caused a failure in 2022 and was not resolved. The age of the offside rear tyre noted in 2023 also suggests that basic preventative maintenance has been overlooked despite tread depth.
