Nissan D22 2.5 Di 4x4 Navara (2005)
2005 Nissan D22 2.5 Di 4x4 Navara
CarHunch analysed 144 real MOT records for the 2005 Nissan D22 2.5 Di 4x4 Navara. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
This 2005 Navara has a 19.5% first-time pass rate—dramatically below the 80% UK average—making it a genuinely unreliable proposition for MOT. The good news is that dangerous defects are absent from this cohort, but you're still looking at a truck that fails its MOT four times out of five on the first attempt.
At nearly 138,000 miles on average, these vehicles are well-used workhorses, which partly explains the poor pass rate; however, the low failure count (0.33 per vehicle) suggests problems are often minor rather than systemic. Before buying, budget for at least one failed MOT and a trip back to the garage—this truck simply won't pass first time without pre-test remedial work.
What to check before buying a 2005 Nissan D22 2.5 Di 4x4 Navara
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
