2017 Nissan Navara 2.3L Diesel · RE17 CXM

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history shows a trend of deferred repairs regarding wear items. While the most recent test in May 2026 at 138,170 miles passed, new advisories emerged that were absent in previous years. Specifically, the flagging of a corroded offside rear coil spring and both front tyres reaching the legal limit indicates that the previous owner is only addressing components once they reach a point of failure or advisory status, rather than performing preventative maintenance. The Navara has covered a significant mileage profile, averaging approximately 15,300 miles per year over its nine-year life. The data shows consistent, heavy usage, with over 18,000 miles recorded between May 2024 and May 2025, and another 13,000 miles in the final year. This high level of annual mileage typically places considerable strain on the drivetrain and heavy-duty suspension. The persistent presence of an oil leak noted in every test from 2024 through 2026 suggests a slow-running issue that, while deemed not excessive by the tester, remains unresolved. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the undercarriage to assess the extent of the corrosion on the offside rear coil spring, as structural integrity of these components can lead to sudden failure. The frayed offside front seat belt webbing, which has been a concern since 2023 and persists into 2026, requires replacement as it is a safety-critical item. Given the history of thin brake pads in 2023 and a coolant leak in 2022, the cooling system and braking assembly should be checked for secondary leaks or weeping to ensure the high mileage has not caused deeper mechanical degradation.
