NISSAN SERENA1998 · 2.0L PETROL

The roadworthiness of this vehicle is highly questionable due to a complete absence of MOT data for over fourteen years. The last recorded test occurred in September 2012 at 141,541 miles, meaning the vehicle has not undergone a professional safety and emissions check since that date. While the final recorded test showed a pass with minor advisories regarding suspension bushes and brake hoses, the lack of recent testing history makes it impossible to verify the current mechanical state or structural integrity of the car. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a vehicle 28 years old age, averaging roughly 5,055 miles per year. However, the data reveals a significant stagnation in usage. Between September 2010 and September 2012, the vehicle covered only 4,259 miles, and no mileage is recorded thereafter. This suggests the car may have sat for long periods, which in a vehicle of this age often leads to the degradation of rubber components, seized calipers, and internal corrosion within the fuel system, regardless of the low odometer reading. A physical inspection must focus heavily on the structural integrity of the chassis and suspension mounting points. The 2010 failure flagged excessive corrosion across the inner front and rear suspension mounting areas, as well as structural rust near the towbar. A buyer must determine if these areas have progressed into through structural failure over the last decade. Additionally, the condition of the front brake hoses and suspension bushes, which showed deterioration in 2012, should be checked for perish rot and cracking, as these components fail with age independent of mileage.
