Our Verdict
A 19-year-old Nissan Navara with high mi
Given the vehicle's age and mileage, a pre-purchase inspection by a specialist familiar with Nissan Navara 2.5 dCi models is essential. Pay particular attention to the front suspension ball joints and rear brake pipes, as these were flagged in the 2021 MOT and could represent ongoing issues. Check the chassis and crossmember for corrosion, which is a common concern on older double-cab pickups of this era. Negotiate hard on price to account for the likely need to replace suspension components, brake lines and tyres, and request evidence of any work carried out since the 2021 advisory items were raised. Confirm the vehicle's service history independently, as the MOT record alone cannot verify maintenance has been carried out to schedule. Bear in mind that a 19-year-old Navara with 139,000 miles on the clock is approaching the upper end of typical usable life for a working 4x4, and resale values reflect this.
The 2.5-litre dCi engine in the Navara typically returns around 30-33 mpg in mixed use, dropping to mid-20s on towing or off-road work. Road tax for a diesel of this age falls in the higher bracket, and insurance is likely to be in group 8-10 depending on trim. Parts are generally affordable and widely available, though genuine Nissan components for suspension and braking can add up. Estimated annual running cost: £1,400-£1,800 including fuel, tax, insurance and routine maintenance, with the caveat that older vehicles of this mileage often require unscheduled repairs.
Inspect the front suspension thoroughly, particularly the nearside lower arm ball joint which was flagged for play in the 2021 MOT — check for any knocking or movement over bumps. Examine the rear brake pipes for corrosion and renew if any pitting is visible, as this was an advisory item that could easily become a failure. Check all tyres for even wear and remaining tread depth, as the rears were noted as worn close to the legal limit. Beyond the MOT record, inspect the chassis for rust, the clutch for slip, the timing chain for rattle on cold start, and the 4WD system if fitted. The model aggregate data shows coil springs, headlamps and engine MIL issues as common failure points, so test all lights and run a diagnostic scan for any stored fault codes before purchase.
This 2007 Nissan Navara is a 2.5-litre diesel finished in black, first registered in September 2007. The MOT history shows three tests recorded since 2021, including a fail in November 2021 at 135,355 miles and a pass shortly after at 135,363 miles with advisories on suspension, brake pipes and tyres. The vehicle then passed clean in August 2022 at 139,012 miles. The current odometer reading of 139,012 miles is substantially above the model average annual mileage of 9,364 miles, indicating heavy use over its 19-year life. Buyers should note that the 2021 fail was followed by a pass with identical advisories re-recorded, which warrants careful scrutiny.
The Nissan Navara has a mixed reliability record, with an aggregate MOT pass rate of 77.3% across nearly 90,000 vehicles analysed, placing it below average compared to the wider UK vehicle parc. The most common failure points are coil springs, headlamp issues and engine MIL warnings, though the 2.5 dCi engine itself is generally regarded as robust if serviced correctly.
