NISSAN MPV2002 · 3.5L PETROL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness history, though the maintenance trend indicates a consistent pattern of reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent test in November 2017 at 124,572 miles passed despite defects regarding thin offside rear brake pads and multiple rear tyres reaching the legal limit. Given that no MOT data exists for nearly nine years, the vehicle's current roadworthiness is unverified and carries a high risk of significant component degradation, fluid ingress, or mechanical seizure due to the long period of inactivity. The mileage profile is notably low for a 24-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,190 miles per year. There is a significant gap in records between October 2014 at 91,346 miles and October 2016 at 108,512 miles, where the vehicle covered over 17,000 miles in two years. The mileage has remained static since 2017, suggesting the car has sat stationary for several years, which often leads to perished rubber components, seized brake calipers, and fuel contamination. A buyer must inspect the suspension geometry and alignment, as the recurring reports of tyres worn on the inner shoulders from 2015, 2016, and 2017 indicate persistent camber issues or worn suspension bushes. The thin brake pads noted in the final test suggest that the previous owner neglected basic consumable maintenance until a test failure was imminent. Given the age and the long hiatus in testing, a thorough check for structural corrosion on the sills and wheel arches, alongside an for perished tyres, is essential to ensure the vehicle is safe for modern road use.
