1995 Nissan Primera 2.0L Petrol · M353 JNL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having maintained a clean record for the last several years. The most recent test conducted in July 2023 at 103,881 miles resulted in no defects, continuing a trend of successful passes seen in 2022 and 2021. This suggests that the vehicle has been kept to operational standards without recurring mechanical or structural failures appearing in the inspection process. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 31-year-old car, averaging approximately 3,350 miles per year. However, there is a significant anomaly in usage between 2006 and 2009, where the vehicle covered over 12,000 miles, followed by a period where it remained stationary near 102,000 miles. From 2019 to 2023, the car covered only 3,547 miles over four years. This indicates long periods of standing, which often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components rather than mileage-related wear. A physical inspection must focus on components susceptible to age-related decay despite the low mileage. The 2017 test flagged play in an offside front ball joint, and the 2015 record noted a leaking rear shock absorber; the buyer should verify that the current suspension bushings and dampers have not perished. The 2019 failure for perished tyres confirms that the vehicle sits for long durations, necessitating a thorough check for sidewall cracking and brake fluid moisture. Given the age of the chassis and the 2006 report of nearside rear wing damage, a detailed inspection for structural corrosion in the sills and arches is essential to ensure rust has not progressed over time.
