2020 Nissan Navara 2.3L Diesel · SM70 AET

The 2020 Nissan Navara’s most recent MOT on 2025-12-09 at 104,161 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable roadworthiness status. However, the vehicle’s history shows repeated failures at the same mileage (90,692 miles in 2024 and 2025) without recorded defects, suggesting potential inconsistencies in testing or unresolved issues. While the latest test is positive, the pattern of repeated failures at identical mileages raises questions about underlying mechanical stability that warrant further scrutiny. The vehicle’s mileage of 104,161 miles, accumulated over six years, averages 17,360 miles annually—a high rate for its age. The MOT records show consistent testing intervals, with the 2023 test at 73,813 miles followed by a 16,879-mile increase to 90,692 miles by 2024, and a further 13,469-mile rise to 104,161 miles by 2025. This rapid accumulation suggests frequent use, which may accelerate wear on components such as suspension bushes, brake discs, and exhaust systems. The absence of defects in recent tests does not eliminate the risk of hidden deterioration from high-mileage operation. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, as high mileage often exacerbates these issues. The brake system, including calipers and discs, should be checked for uneven wear or binding, even if no defects were recorded. Corrosion in the underbody or exhaust system, common in vehicles with high mileage, requires visual verification. While the MOT history lacks specific faults, the vehicle’s usage pattern and repeated testing anomalies necessitate a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm mechanical integrity.
