I can buy a 2007 Nissan Navara diesel for $17,000. It’s done 171,000 km. I am looking to tow a caravan weighing approx. 1.5 tonnes. What should I look out for?

The kilometres done are about what you would expect a vehicle of that age would have done, but the price is high. I would think $13,000 to $15,000 is more reasonable. With a 3000 kg towing rating it would comfortably tow your caravan. The things to be aware of are low clutch life and high cost to replace them, and failures of the cam timing chain. The latter is generally put down to poor maintenance, so make sure yours has a credible service record showing regular oil changes.
