1991 Nissan Figaro 1.0L Petrol · J645 HGK

The 1991 Nissan Figaro presents a currently roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 18 July 2024 at 193,008 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable on paper, with the latest pass following a clean sheet and no outstanding advisories across the five tests held on file. The vehicle cleared its test just under two years before today's date, so the certificate remains valid but is nearing expiry. Recorded mileage sits at 193,008 against a 35-year lifespan, an average of roughly 5,515 miles per year which is low for a car of this age. The gap between the 13 October 2021 test at 166,494 miles and the 17 October 2022 test at 178,580 miles shows only 12,086 miles added in that year, while the jump to 193,008 by July 2024 suggests around 14,400 miles in roughly twenty months. The DVSA history is sparse, with just five entries and no advisories logged, so the clean record gives little insight into worn consumables or hidden corrosion. The two failures on 6 October 2021 at 166,477 miles and 6 July 2024 at 193,008 miles both list no defects recorded, which points to administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical faults. A buyer should still treat the Figaro as a three-decade-old convertible and inspect structural integrity closely, particularly chassis rails, sills, and floor pans for corrosion. Suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs warrant hands-on checks given the low annual use and likely periods of standing. Given the absence of flagged advisories across the record, previous keepers appear to have maintained basic test compliance, though the twin no-defect failures hint at lax pre-test preparation. A physical inspection of exhaust emissions, tyre condition, and wiper operation remains sensible before purchase, as these items are consumable and absent from the official log.
