Our Verdict
This 2009 Nissan Navara presents a relatively low-risk used pickup opportunity, with five consecutive MOT passes and mileage that sits comfortably below the model average. Buyers should still inspect for known Navara weak points such as rear leaf springs and headlamp condition before committing.
Given the clean MOT record, your priority shifts from verifying compliance to confirming the physical and mechanical state of the vehicle. Ask for the full service history in writing, including timing belt changes — the YD25DDTi diesel benefits from a belt replacement around 60,000 to 90,000 miles, so check whether this has been carried out given the current odometer reading of 82,321. Inspect the load bed thoroughly for dents, rust along the inner wheel arches, and any signs of heavy commercial use, as Navaras are frequently work vehicles. Negotiation should focus on the age of consumables such as tyres, brakes, and the condition of the clutch, none of which MOT testing alone can fully reveal.
The 2.5-litre YD25DDTi diesel typically returns around 30 to 35 mpg in real-world mixed driving, dropping noticeably under load. Road tax for a 2009 Navara of this engine size falls into a relatively high band, and insurance is likely to sit in group 12 to 14 depending on trim. Typical annual maintenance for a diesel pickup of this age includes items such as brake discs and pads, suspension components, and occasional clutch work, with budgets of £400 to £700 per year being realistic for general upkeep. An overall annual running cost in the region of £1,500 to £2,200 is a sensible planning figure, inclusive of fuel, tax, insurance, and maintenance.
Based on the model aggregate data, the most common MOT failure points for the Nissan Navara are coil springs, headlamp issues, and engine MIL (malfunction indicator lamp) inoperative, so each of these warrants close inspection. Lift the vehicle and check both front coil springs and rear leaf springs for cracks or sagging, as the latter are a recognised weak point on chassis-cab variants. Check that both headlamps illuminate correctly and that the engine management light is not illuminated on the dashboard, as both are flagged regularly in MOT data. Finally, examine the chassis and underbody for corrosion, particularly around the rear crossmember and suspension mounting points, given the vehicle's age.
This WG09JVT Navara has recorded five straight MOT passes between 2022 and 2026, with no advisories or failures recorded in any of those tests. Current mileage of 82,321 is well below the model's average annual figure of 9,370 miles, indicating light use over the vehicle's 17-year life. The 2,488cc diesel engine is the well-known YD25DDTi unit, which is widely used across the Navara range. Overall, the data points to a clean, lightly used example of this popular workhorse pickup.
The Nissan Navara shows an MOT pass rate of 77.3% across 89,357 vehicles analysed, placing it in the middle of the pickup reliability spectrum, with coil spring and headlamp issues being the most frequently cited failure reasons.
