2018 Nissan Navara Tekna DCI Heavy oil · WJ18 AAV

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-05-02 at 73,502 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a resolved issue from the prior failure on 2025-04-08 at 72,087 miles, which also had no recorded defects. This suggests the owner addressed the problem promptly, though the recurring failures in 2022-05-10 (36,768 miles) and 2024-01-09 (59,407 miles) without recorded defects imply intermittent maintenance gaps. The trend shows stability in the last 12 months, but the lack of detailed defect records limits insight into underlying mechanical risks. The vehicle’s mileage of 73,502 miles over eight years aligns with an average of 9,188 miles annually, a typical rate for its age. However, the 14-month gap between the 2022-11-05 pass (39,743 miles) and 2024-01-09 pass (59,407 miles) reflects a significant mileage jump of 19,664 miles, which could accelerate wear on components like suspension bushes, brake discs, and exhaust emissions. The final 1,415-mile increase between 2025-04-08 and 2025-05-02 suggests minimal usage in the last month, raising questions about storage conditions or infrequent use. A buyer should verify the condition of suspension components, particularly coil springs and shock absorbers, given the high mileage and potential for fatigue. The absence of recorded brake or corrosion issues is reassuring, but the recurring MOT failures warrant scrutiny of the braking system’s integrity, including caliper binding and disc warping. Structural rust should also be checked, as the vehicle’s age and mileage increase susceptibility to underbody corrosion. No major defects were flagged, but the pattern of failures implies the need for a thorough pre-purchase inspection of critical mechanical systems.
