2018 Nissan Navara 2.3L Diesel · L21 SAY

The 2018 Nissan Navara last passed MOT on 11 September 2025 at 53,169 miles with no defects recorded, indicating current roadworthiness. The immediate preceding test on 10 September 2025 failed due to a fractured nearside front coil spring and an engine MIL fault, suggesting those issues were rectified before the pass. The pattern of failures in 2024 (brake disc wear and coil spring fracture) has been resolved, and the recent annual test shows no advisories, so the maintenance trend is improving. Mileage progression shows roughly 6,600 miles per year, a typical rate for an eight‑year‑old vehicle. Records are spaced annually from 2021 through 2025, with the only notable gap being the nine‑month interval between the December 2021 pass and the September 2022 test. No sudden mileage jumps appear; the increase from 26,112 miles in December 2021 to 53,169 miles by September 2025 follows a steady upward curve. A buyer should inspect the front suspension closely for coil spring integrity, as two separate failures were logged in 2024 and early 2025. Brake discs on the front axle require scrutiny for scoring or pitting, given the advisory in September 2024 and the recurring wear pattern. The engine management system should be checked for MIL illumination; the fault logged in both 2024 and 2025 indicates possible sensor or emission control issues. Tyre condition is also a concern, with all four outer tyres noted as worn close to the legal limit in 2022, so tread depth and edge wear must be verified. Finally, examine suspension bushes and mounts for corrosion, as the vehicle’s age and mileage make these consumables likely candidates for replacement.
