2009 Nissan Navara 2.5L Diesel · MT58 TAL

The 2009 Nissan Navara currently presents a clean bill of health, having passed its most recent MOT on 10 June 2026 at 51,830 miles with zero defects recorded. The maintenance trend is broadly stable and, by the final test, improving. The 2025 test on 30 June at 42,712 miles flagged two minor advisories, front brake discs worn, pitted or scored but not seriously weakened, and a suspension component corroded but not seriously weakened. Both were non-critical at the time, and neither reappeared in the 2026 pass, suggesting either remediation or that conditions did not deteriorate further. The mileage profile is notably low for a vehicle of this age. Over roughly 17 years, the odometer has advanced just 51,830 miles, averaging approximately 3,049 miles per year. The record shows a gap between the February and April 2021 tests where the vehicle covered only 205 miles in two months, and a more pronounced jump of nearly 5,000 miles between April 2021 and June 2025. That long interval between 2021 and 2025, four years with no recorded tests, raises the possibility of extended standing or limited use during that period. Low annual mileage can preserve mechanical components but also risks dried seals, deteriorated rubber bushings, and corroded brake surfaces from underuse. Buyers should focus their in-person inspection on the front brake system and suspension components, as these were the only areas to draw advisory attention. Check the front brake discs for scoring depth and lipping, and inspect the pads for uneven wear that might indicate a sticking caliper or seized slide pin. Examine all suspension bushes, coil springs, and dampers for perishing, cracking, or corrosion, particularly given the advisory for a corroded suspension component noted in 2025. On a vehicle that has spent long periods stationary, also assess tyre age and sidewall condition, as rubber degrades with time regardless of tread depth. Underneath, probe the chassis rails, cross members, and mounting points for surface corrosion or structural weakness, as light use on salted roads can still cause hidden corrosion over nearly two decades.
