2016 Nissan Navara 2.3L Diesel · JR02 MAT

The vehicle demonstrates a highly stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a clean pass on 30 September 2025 at 60,271 miles. The absence of any recorded advisories or defects across the last three annual inspections suggests a rigorous approach to preventative maintenance. While the 2023 testing cycle included a failed attempt on the same day as the subsequent pass, the lack of recorded defects indicates this was likely a minor administrative or equipment-related issue rather than a mechanical failure. The recorded mileage of 60,271 over a ten-year period averages approximately 6,000 miles per annum, which is consistent with light-to-moderate usage. The progression is linear and predictable, with no evidence of long-term storage or periods of inactivity that might lead to seized components or perished rubber seals. The steady accumulation of miles suggests the vehicle has been used regularly, which is generally preferable for drivetrain health compared to a vehicle that has sat idle for extended durations. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis, as the Navara platform is prone to corrosion in the rear crossmembers and spring hangers. Although the MOT history is clean, surface oxidation can often be overlooked by testers if it does not yet compromise structural strength. Inspect the suspension bushes and leaf springs for signs of fatigue or heavy loading, as this model is frequently used for towing. Verify that the four-wheel-drive system engages and disengages smoothly, as the mechanical linkages can stiffen if the system is rarely exercised.
