2017 Nissan Navara 2.3L Diesel · N5 JRJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT test in March 2026. However, the maintenance history reveals a reactive approach to repairs where faults are only addressed upon failure. The most recent failure occurred just six days prior to the pass at 103,014 miles, where testers identified a fractured nearside rear coil spring and a missing offside rear coil spring. While the vehicle passed the subsequent test, the presence of multiple spring failures suggests the suspension components are reaching the end of their functional service life. The mileage progression is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,400 miles per year. There is a notable gap of nearly 18,000 miles between January 2021 and March 2022, which aligns with the COVID-19 extension period. Since 2022, the vehicle has seen a steady rate of use, covering roughly 3,500 miles annually. This consistent usage suggests the vehicle is driven regularly, placing typical stresses on heavy-duty components like the braking system. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the rear suspension, as the recurring coil spring issues indicate potential wear in shock absorbers or bushings. The 2024 test flagged thin front brake pads at 97,583 miles, showing that the owner does not replace consumables until they necessitate failure. Furthermore, the 2022 failure involving all four tyres being near the legal limit with edge wear points to a history of neglecting basic preventative maintenance. Inspect the chassis for structural corrosion, which is common in Navara models of this age, despite the MOT record not yet explicitly flagging structural integrity issues.
