1991 Nissan Figaro 1.0L Petrol · H133 KFL

The most recent MOT on 2026-05-19 showed the vehicle passed with 99,084 miles, but a prior failure just seven days earlier revealed multiple issues. The 2026-05-12 failure included non-working rear position and stop lamps, a significantly weakened seat belt anchorage, fluctuating brakes, and a nail in the nearside front tyre. These defects suggest electrical and structural concerns, alongside potential brake system instability. The 2025-05-06 failure highlighted more severe problems, including imbalanced rear brakes, corroded suspension mounts, worn suspension components, a missing steering rack gaiter, and a leaking steering rack. These issues indicate recurring mechanical and structural weaknesses, particularly in suspension and braking systems. The vehicle’s mileage of 99,084 miles over 35 years equates to roughly 2,831 miles annually, which is low for its age. This could imply periods of inactivity or light use, which might contribute to corrosion, electrical faults, or component degradation from lack of operation. However, the low mileage does not necessarily indicate reduced wear on critical systems like brakes or suspension, as these can degrade from static storage or infrequent use. The MOT history shows a pattern of recurring issues, particularly with suspension components, brakes, and electrical systems, though the 2026-05-19 pass suggests repairs were made. The trend in defects is mixed.
