2011 Nissan Navara 2.5L Diesel · R90 DAK

The latest MOT test on 20 June 2025 resulted in a pass, indicating the vehicle is currently roadworthy. The overall maintenance trend appears stable, although the history shows two instances where the vehicle failed and passed on the same or adjacent days in 2023 and 2025. While no specific defects were recorded in the provided data, these patterns typically suggest that minor, immediate repairs were carried out to satisfy the inspector. The absence of long-term recurring advisories suggests a consistent level of basic upkeep. The recorded mileage of 154,564 miles over a fifteen year period equates to an average annual usage of approximately 10,304 miles. This is considered typical for a utility vehicle of this age and suggests a balanced usage profile rather than extreme heavy-duty work or prolonged periods of standing. However, at this mileage, the vehicle has entered a phase where major wear-and-tear components are likely to require attention, specifically regarding the drivetrain, suspension geometry, and engine seals. Given the clean MOT record, the buyer must focus on physical inspections that a standard test may overlook. It is critical to inspect the chassis rails and suspension mounting points for significant corrosion, as this model is known for structural rust. During a test drive, listen for clunks or knocks from the suspension bushes and check for any instability that could indicate worn coil springs or dampers. The clutch and dual-mass flywheel should be assessed for shuddering or slipping under load, and the gear transitions should be smooth and precise. Further attention should be directed toward calendar-based degradation and high-mileage maintenance. Inspect the tyre sidewalls for perishing or fine cracking, which occurs regardless of tread depth. Verify the service history for regular oil and filter intervals to ensure engine longevity and check for any evidence of fluid leaks around the gearbox and engine seals. Finally, check for brake disc corrosion or binding calipers and ensure the 12V battery is holding a strong charge, as these components often degrade in older diesel vehicles.
