2002 Nissan Primera 1.8L Petrol · AF52 DPZ

The 2002 Nissan Primera presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 22 September 2025 at 149,432 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing a clean run that began with the 24 September 2022 pass at 141,727 miles. No advisories or mechanical faults appear across the five-year DVSA history, indicating the vehicle has not required rectification work within the test scope during this period. Recorded mileage sits at 149,432 against an approximate 24-year lifespan, equating to roughly 6,226 miles per year and reflecting typical use for a car of this age. The annual tests show gentle, consistent accumulation: 141,727 miles in September 2022, 144,396 in September 2023, 146,963 in September 2024, and 149,432 in September 2025. The only anomaly is the duplicate 24 September 2024 entry, where the vehicle first failed then passed on the same day at identical mileage with no defects logged, suggesting an administrative or procedural retry rather than a genuine fault. Given the absence of flagged wear in the official record, a buyer should still verify in person the condition of age-related consumables not always captured at test. At 24 years old, suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe mounting points are prone to rubber degradation and corrosion even where the MOT showed clean. Brake discs and calipers should be checked for binding or scoring from low annual mileage, and the exhaust system inspected for internal rot. The clean history implies previous owners kept basic statutory maintenance current, though it does not confirm proactive renewal of worn components. A pre-purchase inspection beneath the sills and wheel arches remains sensible to confirm structural integrity not evidenced by the pass results.
