1991 Nissan Figaro 1.0L Petrol · H990 AGJ

The vehicle is currently unroadworthy following a critical failure on June 10, 2026, at 87,020 miles. The maintenance trend is rapidly worsening, transitioning from minor defects to severe structural compromise. The tester identified significant corrosion on the offside upper A pillar, the nearside inner integral structure, and the offside rear inner pocket. These faults indicate that the rigidity of the body assembly is significantly reduced, representing a major safety risk that goes far beyond the minor repairs seen in previous years. At approximately 35 years old, the recorded mileage of 87,020 miles is remarkably low, averaging roughly 2,500 miles per year. However, the data shows very little movement between tests, with only 331 miles covered between July 2025 and June 2026. This low-frequency use often correlates with the observed degradation of components, such as the perishing tyres noted in 2024 and the persistent corrosion of all four coil springs, which often results from vehicles sitting rather than being driven regularly. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the chassis, specifically focusing on the sills, mounting points, and rear pockets where deep structural rot has manifested. The braking system shows a history of neglect, with leaking and corroded pipes in 2025 and binding or fluctuating calipers in 2024. Given the persistent oil leak reported across the last three tests, the engine seals and gaskets also require scrutiny. The structural failure on the A pillar and inner integral suggests that the vehicle may require expensive specialist metalwork to return to a roadworthy condition.
