Nissan Navara Used Car Checklist Malaysia — NP300
Key checks: start the engine cold and check for white/blue smoke at startup (injector or glow plug issue). Rev the engine and check for black smoke (EGR or air filter). Inspect the chassis, rear leaf springs, and underbody for rust — especially on trucks used off-road. Ask for fuel filter change history. Test 4WD engagement (H4, L4). Request Puspakom inspection report.
