2004 Nissan Almera 1.8L Petrol · WR04 AHD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive repairs rather than proactive servicing. While the most recent test in September 2022 at 58,655 miles passed, it flagged significant wear on the front brake discs and thin pads, alongside a defective wiper blade. This indicates a trend where components are only addressed once they reach the point of failure. The overall condition appears stable in terms of structural integrity, but the recurring electrical and consumable failures suggest a lapsed approach to routine inspections. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 22-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,666 miles per year. There is a notable gap in records between July 2020 at 54,683 miles and the 2022 test at 58,655 miles, during which the car covered fewer than 4,000 miles in two years. Such low usage over long periods often leads to the degradation of rubber components, dry seals, and potential surface corrosion on braking surfaces, despite the low mechanical wear on the drivetrain. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the supplementary restraint system, as the SRS warning lamp appeared in multiple tests between 2016 and 2019. This is a critical safety concern that requires professional diagnostics to ensure airbag functionality. Additionally, the history of thin brake pads and pitted discs in 2022 necessitates a physical check of the current braking system thickness and caliper condition. Given the age and low mileage, the inspector should also look for cracking in rubber hoses and perished suspension bushes which are common issues in vehicles that sit stationary for extended periods.
