2009 Nissan Navara 2.5L Diesel · VX09 KHP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history indicates a trend of worsening structural corrosion and mechanical wear. While the most recent test in January 2026 at 121,679 miles passed, it revealed several developing issues including an exhaust leak and pitted front brake discs. The most critical concern remains the structural integrity noted back in November 2024, where the nearside rear suspension spring mounting failed for excessive corrosion that reduced structural strength, although this was downgraded to 'not excessive' in the subsequent test. At 17 years old, the mileage of 121,679 miles represents an average usage of approximately 7,158 miles per year, which is consistent with a light-use commercial vehicle. The data shows a significant increase in activity between April 2022 and November 2023, where the vehicle covered over 3,600 miles in just nineteen months. This recent surge suggests the vehicle has moved from long periods of standing to more frequent use, which likely correlates with the accelerated degradation of rubber components and suspension-related hardware seen in the record. A buyer must prioritise a thorough physical inspection of the rear suspension mountings to determine if the corrosion identified in 2024 has continued to spread. The record shows recurring issues with the offside track rod end and suspension ball joints across multiple years, suggesting a reactive rather than proactive maintenance approach regarding steering and suspension components. Additionally, the persistent fluctuating front brakes and pitted discs noted in 2026 indicate that the braking system is nearing the end of its effective life. Particular attention should also be paid to the prop shaft joints and the condition of the offside front seat belt webbing, which has been flagged for damage since 2022.
