Nissan Navara Tekna DCI Auto (2021)
2021 Nissan Navara Tekna DCI Auto
CarHunch analysed 122 real MOT records for the 2021 Nissan Navara Tekna DCI Auto. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2021 Nissan Navara Tekna DCI Auto has a first-time MOT pass rate of just 57.1%, well below the UK average of 80%, which signals genuine reliability concerns for this model at this age. The good news is that dangerous defects are absent from this cohort, and the average failure rate is low at 0.09 per vehicle, meaning most issues caught are minor.
With median mileage sitting at 50,462 miles—reasonable for a three-year-old truck—the weak pass rate isn't explained by hard use. The lack of any advisories and minimal failures suggest that when these Navaras do fail their MOT, it's often due to a single issue rather than multiple problems, but the frequency of that happening is concerning enough that you should budget for remedial work before or shortly after purchase.
What to check before buying a 2021 Nissan Navara Tekna DCI Auto
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.
