Nissan Navara Tekna DCI (2013)
2013 Nissan Navara Tekna DCI
CarHunch analysed 139 real MOT records for the 2013 Nissan Navara Tekna DCI. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
This 2013 Navara Tekna diesel is a noticeably weaker performer than the UK average, with a first-time pass rate of just 61.9% against the national 80% benchmark—meaning roughly four in ten owners face unexpected repairs before their MOT. The good news is that dangerous defects are absent from this cohort, so failures tend to be fixable rather than safety-critical.
At 99,000 miles median mileage, these trucks are well-used workhorses, and the 0.94 average failures per vehicle reflects the wear you'd expect from a hard-working diesel engine and chassis. Before buying one, budget for remedial work and have a pre-purchase inspection focus on suspension, exhaust systems, and engine bay corrosion—the typical weak points for ageing pickup trucks in this mileage band.
What to check before buying a 2013 Nissan Navara Tekna DCI
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.
