1990 Nissan S-Cargo 1.5L Petrol · G268 LNY

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance history shows a worsening trend regarding structural integrity and fluid leaks. While the most recent test in August 2025 at 73,190 miles passed, it introduced multiple advisories related to corrosion that were absent in previous years. The transition from a clean record in 2022 to a failure in 2023 involving parking brake and CV boot failures indicates that while the vehicle is operational, it is currently susceptible to rapid age-related degradation despite its low mechanical usage. At 36 years old, the recorded mileage of 73,190 miles is exceptionally low, averaging approximately 2,000 miles per year. The data reveals long periods of stationary use, evidenced by the mere 72-mile gap driven between May 2023 and August 2023. This low-frequency use explains the presence of surface corrosion on brake discs and coil springs, as well as the persistent oil leaks and power steering seepage, as seals often dry out and fail due to time rather than mileage-related wear. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the inner sills and front suspension mounting points, as the 2025 test flagged emerging corrosion that could eventually compromise structural integrity. The recurring oil leaks and power steering seepage noted since 2021 suggest that the engine and steering seals require close monitoring to prevent significant loss. Additionally, the previous failure of the parking brake and the split nearside outer CV boot necessitates a check to ensure repairs were effective and that the components are not seized from periods of inactivity.
