Our Verdict
This 2020 Nissan Navara represents a sou
Given the high annual mileage of approximately 22,200 miles compared with the model average of 9,364, this Navara has likely been used for work purposes. A thorough service history is essential — request evidence of regular oil changes, timing belt or chain inspections, and any work on the dual-mass flywheel or clutch, which are known wear items on heavily used diesel pickups. Inspect the load area and tow bar for signs of heavy use, and check whether the vehicle has been operated off-road, as this accelerates underbody corrosion.
When negotiating, use the elevated mileage as leverage to bring the price closer to private-sale values rather than retail. Ensure the timing chain on the 2.3-litre YS23 engine has been inspected or replaced if due, as this is a known concern on higher-mileage examples. Confirm whether the vehicle has the standard 7-year Nissan warranty remaining, although this expired for most 2020 vehicles by 2024, so extended warranty or dealer-backed cover is worth considering for peace of mind.
The 2.3-litre diesel Navara typically returns around 30-38 mpg in real-world driving, depending on load and towing, with fuel costs for 15,000 annual miles coming to roughly £2,300-£2,800 at current diesel prices. Road tax for this Euro 6c vehicle sits in a reasonable band for commercial-oriented pickups, typically around £290-£340 per year. Insurance for a double-cab Navara in this spec usually falls into groups 35-42, so premiums for a typical driver will be moderate to high.
Maintenance costs are higher than average family cars due to the commercial nature of the vehicle, with annual servicing averaging £300-£500 depending on whether main dealer or independent specialist work is undertaken. Brakes, tyres, and clutch components wear faster under heavy use, so budget around £800-£1,400 annually for general maintenance and unexpected repairs on a high-mileage example like this.
Despite the clean MOT record, the 88,812-mile odometer reading warrants close inspection of wear-related items. Check the rear brake drums and shoes, as pickups used for towing often show uneven wear. Examine the propshaft and universal joints for play or vibration, particularly when the vehicle is driven at speed. Inspect the intercooler pipes and turbocharger for signs of oil leakage, as the YS23 engine can develop minor oil weep issues at higher mileages.
For the body and chassis, examine the chassis rails and mounting points for corrosion, particularly around the rear leaf spring mounts where road salt can accumulate. Look underneath the load bed liner for dents or damage that might indicate off-road use. The aggregate data flags coil spring failures and headlamp issues as the top MOT failure reasons for this model, so inspect the front coil springs for cracks and ensure both headlamps are clear, properly aimed, and free from condensation. Finally, check the engine bay for any signs of coolant leaks around the EGR cooler, another known concern on this generation of Navara.
This 2.3-litre diesel Nissan Navara was first registered in September 2020 and has covered 88,812 miles across three recorded MOT tests, all of which passed without any advisories or defects. The annual mileage of around 22,200 miles is well above the model average of 9,364 miles, suggesting commercial or heavy-duty use. The vehicle sits in a strong position compared with the model's average MOT pass rate of 77.3%, having achieved three consecutive passes.
The Nissan Navara has an average MOT pass rate of 77.3% across nearly 90,000 analysed vehicles, placing it in a middling position among pickup trucks, with coil springs, headlamps, and engine MIL issues being the most common failure points.

- Turbocharger FailureSerious
The Renault-Nissan 2.3 dCi (YS23DDT single-turbo and YS23DDTT twin-turbo) diesel engine can experience premature turbocharger bearing wear and oil-seal failure. This is exacerbated by extended oil change intervals (up to 18,000 miles or 2 years under factory schedules), oil dilution from interrupted DPF regenerations, or heavy towing duties. As bearing play increases, the impeller blades contact the housing, generating a high-pitched siren whistle and passing oil into the intake, risking limp mode or diesel runaway.
- AdBlue SCR System Dosing Faults and Module Calibration (Recall R/2023/194)Serious
Euro 6 versions of the 2.3 dCi fitted with Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) frequently suffer from AdBlue dosing errors, crystallisation of urea around the dosing injector, and inaccurate tank level readings. In the UK, DVSA recall campaign R/2023/194 was launched to update the AdBlue Dosing Control Module software to increase online dosing efficiency across 28,292 Nissan vehicles built between May 2016 and May 2019. Unresolved software glitches or clogged injectors trigger an engine restart countdown that immobilises the vehicle once expired.
- Intercooler Boost Pipe and Hot Pipe CrackingModerate
The factory flexible turbo hot pipe and intercooler induction hoses on the 2.3 dCi engine undergo intense thermal expansion and boost cycling (peaking over 2 bar on twin-turbo models). Over time, the factory rubber and moulded plastic pipes soften, develop oil seepage past their O-ring joins, or split along longitudinal mould seams. A cracked boost pipe causes immediate boost loss, distinctive air hiss under acceleration, heavy black exhaust smoke, and DPF soot overloading.
