2017 Nissan Navara 2.3L Diesel · MF67 RXM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a re-test, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than proactive care. The August 2025 test at 49,976 miles resulted in a failure due to an inoperative engine management indicator light, ineffective windscreen wipers, and uneven front tyre wear. While these issues were rectified to secure a pass the same day, the presence of an MIL failure suggests that electronic diagnostics were only addressed after a forced failure during the MOT inspection. At 49,976 miles, the Navara has covered low mileage for its age, averaging approximately 5,500 miles per year. This low usage often correlates with less wear on drivetrain components, yet it can lead to the degradation of rubber components and brake surfaces. Between September 2022 at 30,626 miles and August 2023 at 35,557 miles, the vehicle covered roughly 5,000 miles, yet the tester flagged thin brake pads and pitted discs, indicating that the braking system is requiring service attention despite the low annual mileage. A buyer must physically inspect the front suspension for alignment issues, as the edge wear noted on the front tyres in 2025 often indicates incorrect geometry or worn suspension bushes. The recurring mention of a damaged windscreen across 2024 and 2025 suggests a history of deferred maintenance on cosmetic and minor defects until they reached inspection thresholds. Given the MIL failure, a professional diagnostic scan is essential to ensure no hidden fault codes remain in the engine management system that may have simply been cleared for the re-test.
