NISSAN ALMERA2002 · 1.8L PETROL

The vehicle's roadworthiness is currently indeterminate due to a complete lack of MOT data for the past fourteen years. The last recorded test occurred in January 2012 at 60,362 miles, where the car passed only after addressing multiple critical failures. Based on those final entries, the maintenance trend showed signs of developing structural and mechanical neglect, specifically regarding corrosion and lighting failures. Without any testing history since 2012, there is no verifiable evidence of the current mechanical state or the integrity of vital safety components. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 24-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,515 miles per year. The data shows the car covered only 12,817 miles between January 2010 and January 2012, indicating a pattern of very short-term use. This significant gap in records suggests the vehicle likely sat stationary for extended periods. Low mileage often leads to secondary issues such as perished seals, degraded brake lines, and seized brake calipers, despite the low overall mechanical wear. A physical inspection must focus on the structural integrity of the lower chassis and suspension mounting. The history flags recurring issues with corrosion on the nearside and offside front lower suspension arms, as well as slight corrosion on the rear lower body. A buyer should check for advanced structural rust that may have progressed over the decade of un-tested use. Additionally, the previous reports of corroded brake pipes and excessive play in ball joints necessitate a thorough examination of the entire braking system and suspension geometry to ensure they have not deteriorated through age or inactivity.
