2016 Nissan Navara 2.3L Diesel · PE16 BPO

The most recent MOT on 2024-03-12 recorded 134,509 miles and resulted in a pass, but several issues were noted. The central stop lamp was non-obligatory and not working, a nearside rear tyre contained a nail, and a child seat obstructed inspection of the adult seat belt. These are minor but indicate potential neglect or ongoing maintenance challenges. A prior MOT on 2024-03-11, just one day earlier, resulted in a fail at 134,500 miles. Key failures included excessive wear in the offside front lower suspension arm ball joint, a non-working nearside side repeater, an underinflated nearside rear tyre, and recurring issues with the central stop lamp. The proximity of these two MOTs suggests the vehicle may have been driven in a condition that risked safety, with critical suspension wear left unaddressed. Looking back, the 2023-03-01 MOT (118,306 miles) flagged slight play in both front suspension arm ball joints and the same stop lamp issue. This indicates a recurring mechanical pattern, particularly with suspension components. The 2022 and 2021 MOTs showed less severe issues, such as a loose side step, faulty registration plate lamp, and tyres near legal limits, but these were resolved in subsequent checks. The vehicle’s mileage of 134,509 miles over 10 years equates to roughly 13,451 miles annually, which is high for its age.
