2011 Nissan Navara 2.5L Diesel · PE11 ECV

This 2011 Nissan Navara presents a worsening maintenance trend, with multiple mechanical stresses escalating over the last three years. The most recent test on 14 October 2025 at 144,961 miles resulted in a pass, yet the advisory list grew significantly. Long-standing suspension and engine issues have persisted without remediation, and the vehicle now carries fresh advisories for rear tyres worn close to legal limits on both sides. The record indicates a pattern of deferred upkeep where minor faults are left to degrade rather than being rectified at the next service interval. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical average of roughly 9,664 miles annually, with consistent increments across the recorded period. Between October 2023 and October 2025, the odometer climbed from 125,631 to 144,961 miles, reflecting steady commercial or utility use. The data shows no abnormal gaps or periods of static mileage, meaning the Navara has remained in active duty, which inherently accelerates wear on drivetrain and chassis components. A buyer must prioritize a thorough inspection of the rear leaf spring anchor pins and bushes, which the tester flagged for slight wear consistently across four consecutive tests spanning from October 2023 to October 2025. This unaddressed suspension degradation suggests the rear sub-frame and spring mounting points are bearing continuous stress. The October 2023 failure at 125,616 miles for a nearside front track rod end ball joint with excessive play, alongside a worn drive belt squealing under load, points to neglected steering and auxiliary drive components. A physical check of the steering rack, front ball joints, and auxiliary belt condition is essential. The powertrain requires close scrutiny, as an oil leak not deemed excessive has appeared on every test since October 2023. Left unchecked on a high-mileage diesel, such leaks can mask failing crank seals or gasket degradation. The October 2025 advisory for both nearside and offside rear tyres worn on the edges demands immediate replacement, while the misaligned windscreen washer jets and failed side repeater from the October 2024 failure indicate basic vehicle checks were repeatedly ignored. Verify the current tyre depths, inspect the underbody for fluid seepage, and confirm the windscreen and lighting systems now operate correctly.
