2016 Nissan Altima 2.5L Petrol · AD65 WHK

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy certificate, but the recent history reveals a period of significant neglect and reactive maintenance. While it passed its most recent test in February 2026 at 102,679 miles, this followed a comprehensive failure just six days prior. The trend indicates an inconsistent maintenance regimen, as the vehicle presented with multiple critical electrical, lighting, and safety faults that were only addressed immediately upon inspection rather than through regular preventative servicing. At 102,679 miles, the vehicle's mileage is consistent with typical usage for its age, averaging approximately 10,200 miles per annum. However, the data shows a concerning gap in recent activity, with the car covering only 24 miles over the six-month period between August 2025 and February 2026. This suggests the vehicle may have sat stationary for extended periods, which often contributes to the degradation of rubber components, fluid systems, and battery-related electrical issues. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and braking systems, as the 2025 test flagged play in both front rod ball joints and track rod ends, alongside rear inner brake pads that were at the legal limit of 1.5mm. The previous failure of the power steering system and a leaking offside hose indicates that the steering assembly should be checked for further leaks or pump wear. Additionally, the history of multiple electrical faults, including the way warning lamp and TPMS malfunctions, suggests potential for underlying wiring issues or module failures that require professional diagnostics to ensure long-term reliability.
