2015 Nissan Navara 2.5L Diesel · SM64 OJR

The vehicle presents a concerning maintenance trend characterized by recurring corrosion and mechanical wear. The most recent MOT test on 4 August 2023 at 184,387 miles shows that while the vehicle passed, it required significant remedial work to address failures in the braking system, exhaust, and steering. The repetition of brake pipe corrosion issues suggests a pattern of reactive rather than preventative maintenance. The mileage accumulation is high for an 11-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 16,762 miles per year. Between July 2022 and August 2023, the vehicle covered 30,516 miles, indicating heavy usage over that twelve-month period. This high annual mileage increases the likelihood of accelerated wear on drivetrain components and suspension elements. The current MOT record is nearly three years out of date relative to June 2026, meaning the vehicle's current roadworthiness cannot be verified without a fresh inspection. A prospective buyer must prioritize a thorough underside inspection to assess the extent of corrosion. The record shows a persistent issue with brake pipe corrosion, specifically affecting both rear pipes in the 2023 test and both front pipes in the 2022 test. This indicates a systemic vulnerability to rust within the braking lines. The 2023 failure also flagged excessive play in the nearside front track rod end, which points to deteriorating steering components. Further attention should be directed toward the exhaust system and the prop shaft. The 2023 test noted a deteriorated exhaust, following an insecure clamp reported in July 2022. Additionally, the 2022 record mentions the front prop shaft was removed, which warrants investigation to ensure the drivetrain is complete and properly secured. Given the high mileage and the history of electrical failures, such as the inoperative registration plate and position lamps, a full electrical and structural integrity check is necessary.
