2016 Nissan Navara 2.3L Diesel · OM02 COW

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the recent MOT history indicates a lapse in basic electrical maintenance standards. The most recent test on 13 June 2026 at 69,932 miles resulted in a failure due to multiple lighting defects, including headlamp aim, position lamps, and the centre stop light. While the vehicle passed just six days later, the frequency of these failures suggests the owner did not perform pre-test checks to ensure safety-critical lighting equipment was functional. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a ten-year-old commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per annum. Between the May 2023 test at 53,296 miles and the June 2026 test at 69,932 miles, the vehicle covered 16,636 miles, showing a steady rate of use. This low annual mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it increases the risk of rubber components perishing over time if the vehicle sits stationary for long periods between journeys. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the electrical system, as the recurring failures of bulbs and lamps point to potential wiring issues or neglected maintenance. The 2024 and 2025 records both flagged front tyres reaching the 2mm legal limit with signs of cracking, indicating that the owner often runs tyres until they are near failure. Given that no structural corrosion or brake defects were recorded in the history, the priority should be verifying the chassis for rust and checking the condition of suspension bushes, as these are common points of failure for Navaras of this age that do not always trigger an MOT failure immediately.
