2018 Nissan Navara 2.3L Diesel · SM67 CUY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of deferred repairs regarding suspension components. The most recent test in February 2025 at 105,050 miles shows a pass following a significant failure that involved multiple electrical issues and mechanical wear. While the immediate electrical faults were rectified, the recurring presence of worn anti-roll bar bushes and pins has persisted from 2023 through 2025, suggesting the owner only addresses these components when they trigger a failure. At 105,050 miles over eight years, this Navara has covered an average of approximately 13,000 miles per year. This high mileage is consistent with a commercial use profile but places significant demand on mechanical wear items. There is a notable gap of 22,365 miles between the February 2023 and February 2024 tests, during which the vehicle saw a high volume of use. This rapid accumulation directly correlates with the appearance of multiple mechanical failures, including a rough offside wheel bearing, ball joint play, and fluctuating brakes. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the chassis, as the tester flagged structural corrosion in both 2024 and 2025. Although structural rigidity is not yet compromised, the persistent mention of rust on a high-mileage pickup requires close monitoring for deep perforation in the future. The 2024 failure regarding an insecure AdBlue tank also needs verification to ensure the mounting brackets are properly secured and not prone to leaks or movement. The suspension remains the primary area of concern due to the history of worn anti-roll bar linkages and ball joints. The February 2024 failure for excessively fluctuating rear service brakes indicates potential issues with thinned-out discs or sticking calipers, which should be checked for even wear during a test. Given the high mileage and the trend of component wear, the buyer should expect various bushings and bearings to be nearing the end of their service life.
