2016 Nissan Navara 2.3L Diesel · PJ66 HDL

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness profile following its most recent MOT pass on 24 April 2026 at 134,184 miles. This latest inspection recorded no defects, suggesting that previous issues have been addressed and the vehicle is maintaining a consistent standard of upkeep. The absence of advisories in the last three consecutive tests indicates a period of clean compliance, moving away from the minor failures seen in earlier years. The mileage accumulation is significant for a 2016 vehicle, averaging approximately 13,400 miles per year. A notable increase in usage occurred between the March 2022 test at 61,940 miles and the June 2023 test at 88,163 miles, where the vehicle covered over 26,000 miles in just 15 months. Since that period, the mileage has continued to climb steadily, reaching 134,184 miles by April 2026. This high-mileage usage pattern suggests the vehicle has been used regularly for long-distance or heavy-duty work rather than sitting idle. The history shows a pattern of consumable wear rather than systemic mechanical failure. In June 2023, the vehicle failed on nearside rear lighting and both rear tyre tread depths being below the 1.6mm legal limit. This indicates a period where basic maintenance, specifically tyre replacement, was deferred. Earlier in September 2019, the tester flagged thin front brake pads. While these issues appear resolved in recent tests, a buyer should physically inspect the current condition of the tyres, brake discs, and pads to ensure they have not reached the end of their service life due to the high annual mileage. Given the heavy usage, a thorough inspection of the suspension components and drivetrain is advisable. High-mileage diesel pickups often experience wear in suspension bushes, shock absorbers, and steering linkages. While the MOT record is currently clean of structural or emissions defects, the rapid mileage growth warrants a close look at any signs of chassis corrosion or underside wear that a standard MOT might not fully capture.
