Nissan Navara Tekna D/C DCI 188 2.5L Heavy oil · VOI 75

A consistently clean MOT record across four tests – most recently on 28 October 2022 – indicates that no roadworthiness‑related defects have been documented for this Navara Tekna D/C DCI. The absence of advisories or failures over a span of four years suggests that, at the times of testing, the vehicle met the statutory safety and emissions criteria without issue. At 188,498 mi the odometer shows a high cumulative mileage, but without a known build‑date the annual accumulation can only be inferred from the test intervals. Four MOTs between March 2018 and October 2022 imply roughly 30–35 k mi per year, a rate typical of a work vehicle or one used for long‑distance haulage. Such mileage places considerable wear on engine internals, turbocharger bearings, clutch components and suspension bushings, meaning that while the MOT has not flagged problems, the underlying parts are likely approaching the later stages of their service life. When inspecting the vehicle, pay particular attention to the condition of the suspension links and coil springs for any clunking or uneven ride height, which can signal worn bushes or cracked mounts that may not have been captured by the MOT. Test the braking system for consistent pedal feel, any pulsation, or a high‑pitched squeal that could reveal thinning pads or warped discs, even though no brake‑related defects were recorded. Listen for irregular engine noises under load – such as turbo whine, timing‑chain rattles, or excessive exhaust smoke – which are common wear indicators at this mileage. A thorough pre‑purchase examination by a qualified mechanic is advisable to confirm the integrity of the chassis, check for hidden corrosion around the subframe and underbody, and verify the absence of oil or coolant leaks. A full service history, if available, will help corroborate that routine maintenance (oil changes, timing‑chain tensioner checks, coolant flushes) has been observed, providing additional confidence before committing to a purchase.
