2008 Nissan Navara 2.5L Diesel · LR08 RAU

The vehicle is currently not roadworthy, having failed its most recent MOT test on 9 June 2025 at 87,522 miles. The maintenance trend appears erratic. While the record shows a pattern of passing tests after initial failures, the most recent failure leaves the vehicle without a valid certificate as of July 2026. The mileage is exceptionally low for an 18 year old vehicle, averaging roughly 4,862 miles per year. Between 5 April 2023 and 15 May 2024, the odometer climbed from 78,967 to 82,471 miles. This suggests the vehicle is used sparingly, which often indicates a risk of components seizing or perishing due to inactivity rather than mechanical wear. The MOT history is unusually clean, with no specific defects or advisories listed across multiple tests. This lack of data is atypical for a Nissan Navara of this age, as these models frequently exhibit chassis corrosion and suspension wear. The repeated failures on 22 February 2023, 2 May 2024, and 9 June 2025, despite no recorded defects, suggest administrative issues or failures on items not detailed in this summary. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the chassis and load bed for structural rust. Given the low mileage and the pattern of failures, check for perished rubber bushings, seized brake calipers, and the condition of the tyres. The absence of recorded advisories over several years is a red flag for a vehicle of this vintage; verify that the vehicle has been serviced regularly regardless of the low mileage.
