1989 Nissan Sunny 1.6L Petrol · F220 RLW

The Nissan Sunny presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 8 April 2026 at 33,962 miles, with the maintenance trend stable across the recorded history. The April 2026 pass came one day after a 7 April 2026 failure at 33,956 miles, yet the tester logged no defects on either entry. That anomaly suggests an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault, and every other annual test from 2023 to 2025 passed clean with no advisories raised. The odometer shows 33,962 miles against a 1989 build, an average of roughly 918 miles per year. Annual increments stay minimal: the car covered 351 miles between April 2023 and April 2024, 111 miles to April 2025, and 114 miles to the 2026 tests. Such low, consistent accumulation points to light use or extended periods off the road, with no rapid wear cycles or mileage gaps that would signal neglected high-use operation. Given the clean record, the buyer should still treat the absence of advisories as a product of low annual inspection exposure rather than guaranteed condition. A 37-year-old chassis demands in-person checks for structural corrosion around sills, suspension mounting points, and subframes, as MOT passes at this age often miss incipient rust outside test scope. Brake hydraulics, flexible hoses, and suspension bushes will have aged thermally and chemically regardless of the 33,962 miles. The buyer should confirm no binding calipers, perished rubber, or fatigued coil springs before relying on the car, since standing time degrades seals and tyres more than distance does.
