2016 Nissan Altima 2.5L Petrol · AE65 JWA

The 2016 Nissan Altima presents as roadworthy following a clean pass on 2026-04-01 at 85,603 miles. The maintenance trend is stable with no live advisories or defects carried on the record. Prior to that pass, the vehicle failed twice in March 2026 at 85,192 and 85,582 miles, then again on 2026-03-30 at 85,582 miles, yet the DVSA entries show no recorded defects for those failures, which points to administrative or presentation issues at test rather than mechanical rejection. Mileage sat at 74,071 miles for the 2025-03-14 pass and rose to 85,603 by April 2026, an addition of roughly 11,500 miles in just over twelve months against a ten-year average near 8,560. The car failed its 2025 test on 2025-03-13 at 74,663 miles before passing the next day, again with no defects logged. Sparse, clean records across the timeline give little evidence of neglected consumables, though the repeated zero-defect failures deny the buyer any diagnostic trail on suspension bushes, brake discs, or corrosion. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the Altima's age and the absence of tester commentary. Check coil springs, suspension arms, and brake calipers for binding or wear that a nil-advisory sheet would not expose. Verify the exhaust emissions and tyre condition in person, since the record offers no assurance beyond the recent pass mileage of 85,603.
