2020 Nissan Navara Tekna DCI 2.3L Diesel · YR20 UAH

The Navara presents a stable and recently clean bill of health. The most recent MOT on 18 July 2025 recorded a pass with zero defects at 70,745 miles, which is just under eleven months old relative to today's date. This clean sheet follows a period of active monitoring, indicating that the maintenance trend is currently stable and improving. The tester flagged no structural corrosion, suspension defects, or emissions failures in the latest assessment, suggesting the vehicle has been kept in reasonable mechanical order over its most recent service cycle. The mileage accumulation sits at roughly 11,791 miles per year, which is typical for a working pickup of this age. A notable gap exists between the February 2024 pass at 41,976 miles and the July 2025 pass at 70,745 miles, representing an unusually rapid accumulation of approximately 28,769 miles in just seventeen months. This spike suggests a period of sustained high-speed or heavy-use driving, likely commercial, which places additional stress on drivetrain mounts, turbocharger components, and transmission internals. Prior to that, the vehicle covered 9,852 miles between March 2023 and February 2024, a much more sedate pace. The March 2023 test at 32,124 miles flagged both rear brake pads and discs as worn, pitted, or scored, alongside a minor oil leak. These advisories point to a period where consumable wear was approaching threshold limits, though the subsequent clean pass implies the rear braking system was likely overhauled. A buyer should still physically inspect the rear calipers for signs of binding and check the disc faces for lipping, as recurring heat cycling in a heavy commercial diesel can accelerate uneven pad deposition. The minor oil leak flagged in 2023 also warrants a close visual inspection of the rocker cover gasket, turbo oil feed pipe, and crankshaft oil seals to confirm the source was properly rectified and has not recurred under the higher recent mileage load. Beyond the recorded advisories, the Navara platform is prone to rear spring sag and worn suspension bushes under sustained payload use. With nearly 71,000 miles on the clock, a thorough inspection of the rear leaf spring bushings, shock absorber top mounts, and front lower arm bushes is strongly advised. Any clunking over speed bumps or uneven tyre wear on the inner edges would confirm deterioration. The chassis outruns and load bed cross-members should also be checked for surface corrosion, particularly around the rear spring hanger mounts, as structural integrity in this area is critical for a vehicle that has clearly seen demanding use.
