Looking at a Navara?

Population figures cannot tell you whether one particular car is taxed, MOT-valid or safe to buy.

Check its registration free for the official tax, MOT and mileage record. If the car is still worth pursuing, the optional £9.99 full history check adds outstanding-finance, stolen and insurance write-off checks.

Wondering whether one particular Navara is off the road? A free SORN check shows whether it is currently SORN, taxed or untaxed.

Is the Navara disappearing?

Licensed numbers peaked at 80,509 in 2021 Q4 and stand at 60,851 in 2026 Q1, down 24%. That is down 21% in the five years since 2021 Q1. A further 12,690 are declared SORN — 1 in 6 of the 73,541 still on the DVLA record is off the road, laid up, part-restored or waiting to be sold.

A falling population is worth knowing before you buy: it usually means fewer donor cars, fewer specialists and slower parts supply, and it is why a good example of a scarce model can hold its price while a neglected one is hard to sell at any price.

Navara MOT pass rate

In 2024, 68.1% of 69,668 Nissan Navara MOTs passed first time — below the 71.2% UK average. Pass rate moves with age: 81.1% of cars aged 3–5 years passed first time, against 55% aged 15–30 years.

  • Springs — 5.3% of tests. A broken or sagging coil spring. Replaced in pairs, so it is not the cheapest failure.
  • Exhaust Emissions — 5.1% of tests. The car exceeded its emissions limits. Can be a sensor or a service, but on a diesel it can also mean an expensive filter or catalyst.
  • Position Lamps — 3.8% of tests. A side or tail light out. Usually a bulb.
  • Brake Performance — 3.5% of tests. The brakes underperformed on the rolling road. Expect brake work rather than an adjustment.

Full age bands and failure notes are on the Nissan Navara MOT pass rate page.
