2016 Nissan Navara 2.3L Diesel · JJ16 NER

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2026-01-06 resulted in a failure, though no defects were recorded. Previous tests from 2025-01-10, 2024-01-10, and 2023-01-13 all passed without issues, indicating a stable maintenance trend up to that point. The failure lacks specific defect details, which may suggest a procedural error or minor non-compliance, but no mechanical concerns are evident from the record. The absence of recurring faults implies the vehicle has been well-maintained historically, though the recent failure warrants closer scrutiny. The mileage of 99,567 miles aligns with an average of ~9,957 miles annually, consistent with typical usage for a 10-year-old vehicle. No significant gaps or rapid mileage spikes are present, suggesting steady, predictable operation. The 2023-01-12 failure occurred just one day before a subsequent pass at 82,781 miles, raising questions about the accuracy of the failed test. The clean record prior to 2026-01-06 reflects no major mechanical or structural issues, though the lack of detailed defect reports limits definitive conclusions. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system, particularly suspension bushes and coil springs, which are common wear points on vehicles of this age. Brake components, including calipers and discs, should also be checked for binding or uneven wear, as these often emerge in later MOTs. Structural corrosion, especially in the chassis or body panels, warrants attention, as it can develop unnoticed over time. The absence of recorded defects does not eliminate these risks, so a physical inspection by a qualified mechanic is essential to confirm the vehicle’s condition beyond the MOT data.
