2006 Nissan Navara 2.5L Diesel · YE56 MYM

The vehicle presents as currently roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 26 May 2026 at 108,615 miles, which recorded no defects. The maintenance trend shows signs of recent improvement after a period of significant mechanical neglect. A major failure in May 2025 at 105,555 miles highlighted multiple critical issues, including excessive play in the offside front track rod end and both front lower suspension arm ball joints, alongside several tyres reaching the end of their service life due to cracking and deep cuts. The subsequent pass in June 2025 and the clean result in May 2026 suggest these suspension and tyre issues have been addressed. The vehicle has covered 108,615 miles over its 20-year lifespan, averaging approximately 5,431 miles per year. This low annual mileage is consistent with a vehicle that has seen light use or long periods of inactivity. The mileage increases steadily through the records, moving from 95,039 miles in May 2022 to 108,615 miles in May 2026. While low mileage reduces drivetrain wear, the history of perishing tyres and cracking rubber components suggests the vehicle may spend significant time stationary, which can lead to age-related degradation of consumables regardless of distance travelled. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and steering components, as these have been recurring failure points. The record shows a pattern of worn ball joints and track rod ends, with failures noted in 2019, 2020, and 2025. The 2021 failure regarding a worn prop shaft joint, following a warning in 2020, indicates that drivetrain components have required attention. It is also prudent to inspect the condition of the tyres and all rubber seals, given the consistent advisories for perishing and cracking across multiple years. Finally, check the electrical systems and lighting, particularly the registration plate lamps and supplementary restraint system, which have appeared as failure items in the past. Although the most recent test was clean, the history of headlamp lens degradation and wiper failures suggests that general peripheral maintenance has been inconsistent. A thorough check of the brake discs and calipers is also advised to ensure the pitting and wear noted in 2019 has not recurred.
