2018 Nissan Navara 2.3L Diesel · YF68 UOG

The most recent MOT on 26 August 2025 at 63,612 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating that the vehicle currently meets the DVSA roadworthiness standards. The preceding test on 17 January 2025, also at 58,005 miles, showed a clean result after a failure just one day earlier at 57,974 miles where the near‑side front steering rack gaiter was noted as missing. This corrective action appears to have been addressed promptly, suggesting a stable maintenance trend rather than an ongoing or deteriorating problem. Mileage accumulation over the vehicle’s eight‑year life averages about 7,950 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a 2018 Navara. The record shows a modest increase from 47,969 miles in November 2023 to 48,456 miles in February 2024, a gain of roughly 487 miles in just over two months. A more pronounced rise occurred between January 2024 and January 2025, when the odometer climbed from 48,456 to 58,005 miles, reflecting a period of heavier use. The final jump to 63,612 miles by August 2025 adds another 5,600 miles over seven months, indicating continued regular operation. A buyer should therefore focus on the steering system, specifically inspecting the steering rack for play or wear following the earlier gaiter failure, and confirming that any repair was executed to manufacturer standards. Examination of suspension components such as bushes and coil springs, as well as the condition of brake discs and calipers for binding or uneven wear, is advisable. Additionally, a visual inspection of the chassis, wheel arches and underbody for structural rust or corrosion should be carried out, given the vehicle’s age and mileage profile. Overall, the MOT history demonstrates that the Navara has been maintained without recurring defects after the initial steering rack issue was rectified, and the mileage pattern is consistent with normal use. Nevertheless, a thorough in‑person inspection of the steering, suspension, braking and structural elements is essential to verify that the recorded pass reflects the current mechanical condition.
