Nissan Navara (2020)
2020 Nissan Navara
CarHunch analysed 4,555 real MOT records for the 2020 Nissan Navara. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2020 Nissan Navara is reliably passing its MOTs at 84.5%, which sits comfortably above the UK average of 80%, and only 12.7% have ever recorded a dangerous defect—a reassuringly low figure that suggests this generation is mechanically sound. With nearly all examples being diesel, there's no meaningful fuel-type divide to consider.
At around 47,500 miles on the median example, these trucks are running lower than typical for their age, which bodes well for longevity. The average of 0.58 failures and 2.7 advisories per vehicle indicates minor wear items rather than structural problems, so budget for routine maintenance but don't expect major surprises—when you're shopping, request the full MOT history to spot any pattern of repeated advisories on your specific prospect.
What to check before buying a 2020 Nissan 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.
