2020 Nissan Navara 2.3L Diesel · PJ69 GZG

The Navara presents a stable but borderline maintenance profile, with the most recent MOT pass on 30 January 2024 at 56,924 miles masking a pattern of recurring tyre wear and intermittent electronic system faults. The vehicle failed its initial attempt on 26 January 2024 at 56,919 miles due to an ABS warning lamp and an electronic stability control fault, both of which were rectified before the pass four days later. This suggests the previous owner addressed immediate failures rather than undertaking comprehensive preventative upkeep. The pass itself still carried an advisory for a nearside rear tyre worn close to the legal limit, indicating the vehicle was presented in marginal condition rather than with a clear bill of health. The mileage accumulation of roughly 9,487 miles per year over six years is typical for a working pickup, but the record reveals a notable gap between January 2023 and January 2024, during which the vehicle covered approximately 14,528 miles in a single year. That spike in usage concentrated wear on consumables, particularly tyres, and the record shows no evidence of suspension or steering component replacements to cope with the increased workload. The MOT history is sparse, with only two test events in the past three years, which limits the ability to track longer-term mechanical trends. A buyer should focus the physical inspection on the ABS and electronic stability control systems, given the fault lamps that appeared in January 2024. Wiring looms, wheel speed sensors, and the ABS pump module deserve close scrutiny, as intermittent faults in these areas can resurface without warning. The repeated advisories for tyres worn to the legal limit on the nearside rear and nearside front outer edges point to potential alignment issues or worn suspension bushes and tracking geometry. Have the front and rear suspension inspected for worn ball joints, drop links, and bush deflection, as uneven tyre wear on a Navara of this age often reflects neglected front-end components rather than simple alignment drift. The brake system also warrants attention. While no brake-specific failures were recorded, the ABS fault lamp in January 2024 raises the possibility of a compromised wheel speed sensor or corroded tone ring, both of which affect braking performance under heavy loads. Check the condition of the brake discs, pads, and calipers for uneven wear or binding, particularly at the rear, and inspect the chassis and load bed for corrosion around mounting points and cross members. A vehicle used commercially at nearly 10,000 miles per year will have endured significant structural stress, and surface rust in load-bearing areas can escalate quickly if left untreated.
