2012 Nissan Navara 2.5L Diesel · NE12 PET

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 8 July 2025 at 182,997 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the history shows a pattern of reactive rather than preventative care. The most recent failure on 8 July 2025 involved minor electrical and washer fluid issues, which were rectified immediately. The mileage is high for a 2012 model, averaging over 13,000 miles per year. The record shows a steady accumulation of distance, increasing from 173,026 miles in February 2023 to 182,997 miles by July 2025. This consistent usage suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of standing, which often causes seal failure or battery degradation in older diesels. A buyer should scrutinize the front-end suspension and braking system. The failure on 24 April 2024 at 177,750 miles was significant, flagging excessively worn ball joints on both front lower suspension arms and a worn offside track rod end. These are critical steering and suspension components that typically wear out on high-mileage utility vehicles. The same test also identified brake pads worn below 1.5mm and a major front exhaust leak. While these faults were resolved to achieve the pass on 2 May 2024, the severity of those failures indicates a period of neglected mechanical upkeep. A physical inspection should focus on the quality of the replacement suspension parts and check for any signs of chassis corrosion, which is common for this model and age, despite not being explicitly flagged in the recent records.
