2016 Nissan Navara 2.3L Diesel · SM66 HTU

The 2025-12-19 test at 92,500 miles was a failure, indicating that the vehicle has not maintained its roadworthiness since late 2025. This marks a significant gap of over two years, suggesting that the owner may have been absent or that the vehicle was driven in a way that accelerated wear without addressing the issue immediately. The subsequent tests in 2024, 2023, and 2022, where the vehicle passed with no recorded defects, demonstrate that the mechanical components were capable of sustaining normal driving conditions for approximately 2.5 years prior to the 2025 failure. The mileage accumulation follows a pattern where the vehicle was tested in 2025 at 92,500 miles, then in 2024 at 81,240 miles, and so on. This sequence shows that the owner maintained a consistent daily or weekly routine, accumulating roughly 11,260 miles between the 2025 and 2024 tests. Given that the vehicle is approximately 10 years old, such a steady accumulation of miles indicates that the owner has likely kept the car on the road for a significant portion of its life, though the lack of a 2025 test suggests that the vehicle was driven for less than 10,000 miles in 2025. Based on this history, the buyer should inspect the vehicle for binding condition in the rear brakes and suspension bushings, as these components were the primary focus of the 2025 test. The 2025 failure at 92,500 miles suggests that these parts may have been replaced or serviced at intervals that were not fully documented in the MOT record. A thorough physical inspection is required to verify that the binding calipers and suspension bushings are still within acceptable limits for a vehicle that has been driven for over two years without a MOT failure.
