Quick summary
Total: 2,038 cars
The 2006 Nissan Navara exhibits a slightly higher overall defect rate than the average car of the same year, with 386 defects per 100 vehicles compared to 369. Notably, while it performs better in the "Wheels, Suspensions & Axles" category, showing 235 defects per 100 vehicles versus the average of 311, it has a higher incidence of issues related to "Steering," "Visibility," "Body/Structure," and "Equipment." Mileage trends indicate that defect rates increase significantly as the vehicle ages, particularly beyond 124,000 miles. Overall, while tyre wear is a common issue across vehicles, the Navara's specific challenges in other areas suggest a need for attention as it ages.
