2014 Nissan Navara 2.5L Diesel · SC14 RYM

The vehicle is currently unroadworthy and exhibits a rapidly worsening trend in structural and mechanical integrity. The most recent test on 23 December 2025 at 172,397 miles resulted in a failure due to critical safety defects. While the vehicle passed a test in December 2024, the subsequent failure revealed severe structural corrosion in the nearside rear vehicle structure and spring mounting. This progression from minor mechanical advisories to major structural failure indicates the vehicle has reached the end of its operational life. At 172,397 miles over twelve years, this Navara has clocked high mileage, averaging approximately 14,300 miles per year. The data shows consistent use, with over 4,000 miles covered between November 2024 and December 2024 tests. This high-frequency usage has accelerated the wear on heavyduty components, particularly the drivetrain and braking systems. The persistent presence of an oil leak across all five recorded tests suggests a long-term engine issue that has not been addressed through preventative maintenance. A buyer must prioritize a thorough inspection of the chassis, specifically focusing on the towbar mounting area and rear suspension mounting points. The November 2024 failure highlighted structural weakening so severe that the towbar was risk of detaching, and the December 2025 report confirmed that corrosion has significantly reduced assembly rigidity. The braking system also shows advanced neglect, with excessive corrosion noted on multiple brake pipes and a binding nearside rear wheel bearing. Mechanical concerns extend to the drivetrain and electronics. The inoperative engine management light and recurring ABS/stability control faults suggest deep electrical or sensor failures that remain unresolved. The front suspension shows excessive play in track rod ends and anti-roll bar linkages, indicating that the steering geometry is likely compromised. Given the extent of the structural decay and the recurring nature of mechanical failures, the vehicle represents a significant risk and will likely require prohibitive repairs to meet roadworthiness standards.
