1996 Nissan 200 SX 2.0L Petrol · P123 ADV

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT test on 2023-04-28 with 109,041 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, with some recurring issues but no worsening of problems. The recent test highlighted corroded brake pipes, a damaged steering rack gaiter, and a severely deteriorated drive shaft joint constant velocity boot. The recorded mileage of 109,041 miles, accumulated over about 30 years, suggests a relatively low annual mileage of approximately 3,635 miles per year. This is lower than average for a vehicle of this age. However, the lack of significant mileage accumulation between tests in 2010 and 2017, when the mileage increased by only 7,418 miles over seven years, raises questions about the vehicle's use during this period. The mileage has since increased by 19,400 miles over the next eight years, which is a more typical rate. A buyer should inspect the vehicle's brake system, paying particular attention to the corroded brake pipes and the severely deteriorated drive shaft joint constant velocity boot. The damaged steering rack gaiter and the binding rear brakes also require investigation. Additionally, the vehicle's suspension and steering components should be checked for signs of corrosion and wear, given the previous issues with the suspension component mounting prescribed area and the nearside rear anti-roll bar.
