1991 NISSAN 200 SX1.8L Petrol

The Nissan 200 SX presents a currently roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 9 September 2024 at 147,989 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend across the available history is stable, showing no recurring advisories or mechanical faults. A minor anomaly appears in early September 2024 when the car failed the test on 5 September at 147,955 miles yet recorded no defects; the vehicle then passed four days later, which suggests an administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a genuine fault. The mileage pattern reflects exceptionally light use for a 35 year old vehicle. From the 26 June 2021 test at 146,976 miles to the 8 July 2022 test at 147,776 miles, the owner covered just 800 miles in over a year. By September 2024 the odometer read 147,989 miles, meaning only 213 miles accumulated across the final two year interval. Such low annual averages, roughly 4,228 miles per year overall, imply long stationary periods. The DVSA record itself is sparse and clean, with no corrosion, suspension, brake, or emissions issues ever flagged. A buyer should still inspect the car in person for age related deterioration not captured by the MOT. Long standing invites perished rubber components, seized suspension bushes, and damp related structural rust beneath sills and arches. The brake calipers and discs may have corroded through disuse despite passing untouched. Verify the 2024 failure reason with DVSA, as the no defect entry is irregular. Given the spotless test history and minimal mileage, previous owners likely stored the car rather than neglected it. Confirm underbody integrity and fluid condition before purchase, as 33 year old Nissans commonly suffer hidden chassis corrosion unseen in a pass result.
