NISSAN D222002 · 2.5L DIESEL

The most critical point for a buyer is that there has been no recorded MOT data since November 2013. This means there is a twelve-year gap in the vehicle's official history, making it impossible to determine its current roadworthiness or recent maintenance trend. The recorded mileage of 106,225 miles is very low for a twenty-four-year-old vehicle. While this might suggest light use, it often indicates long periods of standing. This is a significant concern because the older records already showed signs of corrosion in the rear body and on the rear brake pipes. Looking at the available data from 2011 to 2013, the vehicle's condition appeared to be declining. It moved from a clean pass in 2011 to failures involving excessive play in the track rod end, worn shock absorber bushes, and corroded brake lines. Because the vehicle has likely been stationary or undocumented for over a decade, there is a high risk of perished rubber components and advanced corrosion that may have progressed since the last entry. The most important checks are a thorough inspection of the chassis and rear body for structural rust, a check of the brake pipes for corrosion, and an assessment of all rubber bushes and tyres for perishing.
