2015 Nissan Navara: tough ute, easy upkeep

The 2015 Nissan Navara is a hard-working, no-fuss ute that feels just as happy on a job site as it does on a weekend escape. Known as the D23 (often called NP300), it came with a 2.3‑litre turbo‑diesel in single or twin‑turbo form, and in some trims a 2.5‑litre petrol. Buyers got a 6‑speed manual or 7‑speed auto, 4x2 or shift‑on‑the‑fly 4x4. Properly set up, it’ll tow up to 3.5 tonnes braked and haul close to a tonne, with many dual‑cabs using coil springs out back for better ride comfort.

Keeping one in top nick is straightforward. Most owners stick to 10,000–15,000 km or 12‑month services (shorter if it tows, idles, or does lots of short trips). Diesel models like low‑ash, DPF‑safe oil (commonly 5W‑30 meeting ACEA C3), and regular coolant, brake fluid, and air filter checks. The timing chain is designed to last, but a cold‑start rattle is worth investigating. Manuals benefit from clutch inspections
