2017 Nissan Navara 2.3L Diesel · NU67 GPJ

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT but the maintenance trend shows a recent decline in standards following several years of clean records. While the vehicle passed tests between 2020 and 2022 without any defects, the November 2024 inspection at 66,222 miles revealed multiple mechanical failures. The subsequent pass just one day later at 66,229 miles suggests reactive repairs were made quickly, yet the presence of multiple advisories indicates that preventative maintenance is being neglected rather than proactively addressed. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a low-use vehicle, averaging approximately 7,350 miles per year over its nine-year life. There is a notable gap in records between October 2022 test at 55,105 miles and the November 2024 test at 66,229 miles, during which the vehicle covered over 11,000 miles. This suggests the vehicle may have sat for extended periods, which often leads to the degradation of rubber components and the onset of surface corrosion, consistent with the brake pipe issues found in the most recent history. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system and front suspension. The 2024 record flagged corroded brake pipes on three corners covered in grease, which is often a tactic to hide structural decay from a tester's view. The failure due to a fractured offside front coil spring indicates that the suspension components are reaching the end of their life or were prone to fatigue. Additionally, the pitted and scored front brake discs suggest the vehicle has been stationary for long periods, necessitating a check of the calipers to ensure the braking surfaces are not seized or excessively thin.
