2006 Nissan Navara 2.5L Diesel · PJ06 WTO

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status following its most recent test in December 2025 at 214,915 miles. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement after a period of significant mechanical concern in late 2023. While the vehicle previously struggled with multiple drivetrain and wheel bearing failures, the most recent pass indicates only a minor advisory regarding a deteriorated rear registration plate. This suggests that the critical faults identified in previous years were addressed, though the high mileage necessitates continued monitoring. At 214,915 miles, the Navara has averaged approximately 10,700 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a twenty-year-old commercial vehicle. The record shows consistent usage patterns with roughly 4,000 miles covered between December 2023 and December 2024, and another 5,151 miles between December 2024 and December 2025. This regular interval indicates the vehicle is not sitting for long periods, which generally helps preserve seals and rubber components. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the drivetrain and suspension given the recurring failures of constant velocity boots and joints. The 2023 failure highlighted both nearside and offside front drive shaft issues, along with a worn rear prop shaft joint and a rough front wheel bearing. You should check for grease leakage around the CV boots and listen for humming or clicking noises during a drive. The slight play in the rear pinion bearing noted in 2023 also requires re-verification to ensure the wear has not progressed beyond a manageable stage.
