Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle is currently in a roadworthy state with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 1 August 2025 at 135,703 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This clean bill of health suggests the vehicle is mechanically sound according to the latest statutory inspection. The mileage accumulation is consistent with the age of the vehicle, averaging roughly 9,047 miles per year. A review of the records shows a steady increase from 121,528 miles in June 2021 to 135,703 miles in August 2025. There is a notable plateau in usage between March 2024 and August 2025, where the odometer only moved 51 miles. This period of inactivity warrants a check for flat-spotted tyres or seized brake calipers. The MOT history is unusually clean for a 2011 Nissan Navara, showing no recorded advisories or defects across five tests. While the March 2024 failure is noted, the lack of specific defect data in the record makes it impossible to determine the cause. The absence of mentioned corrosion is positive, but these chassis are prone to structural rust. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the chassis rails and suspension mounting points. Given the long period of standing between 2024 and 2025, check for perished rubber bushes and ensure the braking system is not binding. Verify the service history for oil changes and filter replacements, as the MOT record alone does not confirm the internal health of the engine or drivetrain.
