Used Nissan Navara Power Steering Pump

The Nissan Navara has used hydraulic power steering with a belt-driven pump across the main UK generations — the D22 (up to around 2004) and the D40 (2005–2015) — so a physical power steering pump does exist on this model. The later NP300 (D23, 2016 onwards) moved to electric power steering on most variants, meaning it has no hydraulic pump at all. Always confirm which system your vehicle has before ordering, as buying a hydraulic pump for an NP300 would be a wasted purchase.

Both a 2008 and a 2012 Navara fall within the D40 generation (2005–2015), so there is a reasonable chance of compatibility, but engine size matters here — the 2.5 dCi diesel is the dominant UK engine across this generation and pumps from like-for-like 2.5 dCi units are generally interchangeable within the D40. If either vehicle carries a different engine variant, confirm the match with the breaker against both registration numbers before committing.

The D40 received a facelift around 2010, and while the engine lineup remained broadly similar, minor changes to ancillaries mean you should treat the pre- and post-facelift pump as potentially different parts. The engine size and exact engine code are the most reliable guides to compatibility across this boundary, so quote your registration to the breaker and ask them to cross-reference the part number rather than relying on year alone.

Trim level does not affect which power steering pump is fitted — the pump is determined by the engine and generation, not whether the vehicle is an Acenta, Aventura, Tekna, or any special edition like the Outlaw. You may find cosmetic differences between cars from different trims when visiting a breaker, but the pump itself will be the same across trims sharing the same engine and model year. Focus on matching the engine size and generation rather than worrying about trim.

No — the D22 (pre-2005) and D40 (2005–2015) are entirely different generations with different engines, steering geometry, and ancillary layouts, so the pumps are not interchangeable. Always source a pump that matches your specific generation, and give the breaker your registration number so they can confirm the correct unit.

The NP300 Navara (D23, 2016 onwards) sold in the UK was fitted with electric power steering rather than a hydraulic system, so there is no belt-driven hydraulic pump on this vehicle. If you are experiencing steering issues, the fault is likely within the electric power steering motor, column, or control module rather than a pump. A specialist or breaker familiar with the NP300 will be able to advise on the correct component for your fault.
