Verdict

Good choice, check first

Pick-up double cabine à 5 places, animé par le seul diesel 2.3 dCi en 163 ou 190 ch avec boîte manuelle 6 rapports et transmission intégrale. CarVerif lui donne 7/10 de fiabilité globale mais pointe le turbo (défaillances entre 120 000 et 200 000 km) et l'usure de l'embrayage après 100 000 km ; ces retours viennent d'une seule source. Évitez les exemplaires au-delà de 220 000 km et exigez l'historique d'entretien.

You are importing the car to:

Import penalty (malus) in France

  • Emissions of the versions in this guide: 167 g CO₂/km (check the value on the car's registration certificate).
  • The CO₂ malus follows the scale of the year the vehicle was first registered, in France or abroad (WLTP or NEDC scale depending on its registration certificate).
  • For an imported used car, it is reduced by a flat-rate discount based on its age in months (scheme in force since 1 March 2025). The weight malus also applies on first registration in France.
  • The malus is zero for a car more than fifteen years old or first registered before 1 January 2015.

Known faults

Note: some faults below are cited by a single source only. They are still to be confirmed and the reliability score is only indicative.

Turbocompresseur du 2.3 dCi

Severity 2/3 · Costly

CarVerif présente le turbo comme le point faible majeur du 2.3 dCi (4/10 en fiabilité), avec des défaillances généralement entre 120 000 et 200 000 km. Un entretien rigoureux (filtre à air, vidanges régulières) réduit le risque ; le remplacement coûte de 800 à 1 500 euros. Source unique : à confirmer.

Single source so far: to be confirmed.

Usure prématurée de l'embrayage

Severity 2/3 · Costly

Sur la boîte manuelle à 6 rapports (6/10 en fiabilité selon CarVerif), l'embrayage s'use parfois prématurément, entre 150 000 et 220 000 km, surtout en usage professionnel avec charge. CarVerif relève une hausse des problèmes après 100 000 km si l'entretien n'a pas été suivi. Source unique : à confirmer.

Manufacturer recalls

See the official list on RappelConso (new tab) (French government recall site: category “Automobiles et moyens de déplacement”, search “Nissan Navara”). A dealer for the brand can also check, using the vehicle identification number (VIN), that recalls have been carried out.

Recalls published in France (RappelConso)

  • 4 July 2022 — Un défaut dans le générateur de gaz du coussin gonflable passager provoque une inflation incontrôlée et le dégagement de fragments métalliques lorsque l’airbag est activé. Official notice
  • 31 May 2021 — La serrure de l’enfant sur les portes arrière pourrait être défectueuse. En conséquence, il pourrait être possible d’ouvrir la porte même lorsque la serrure de l’enfant est activée, ce qui augmente le risque d’accident. Official notice

Inspection checklist

Things to check

  • Contrôler le turbo à l'essai : sifflement, fumée à l'accélération, manque de reprise.
  • Tester l'embrayage et la boîte manuelle : point de patinage, passage des rapports, bruits.
  • Demander les factures de vidange et de remplacement du filtre à air, qui conditionnent la durée de vie du turbo.
  • Faire vérifier auprès d'un concessionnaire Nissan les rappels (échappement du 2.3 dCi, surtout 2015-2018).
  • Se méfier d'un usage utilitaire intensif (charge, remorquage) : l'usure est plus rapide.

Questions to ask the seller

  • Le turbo ou l'embrayage ont-ils déjà été remplacés, et à quel kilométrage ?
  • L'utilisation a-t-elle été professionnelle, avec remorquage ou charge ?
  • Les rappels Nissan (échappement) ont-ils été effectués ?

Test-drive tip: read the fault codes

A warning light that is off proves nothing: a fault may have been cleared just before the viewing. A Bluetooth OBD2 scanner, plugged in under the steering wheel and read on your phone, shows stored codes and whether all emissions readiness tests have run since the last reset.

Insure the car

Insurance prices vary widely from one model to another: get a quote before signing.
