2002 Nissan 3.5L Petrol · BA02 ACJ

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT test on 17 January 2025 at 228,158 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car has consistently addressed issues to secure a passing result. While the record shows failures in both 2024 and early 2025, the lack of recorded defects on the passing certificates suggests that the owner is proactive in rectifying faults immediately following the annual inspection. At 24 years old, the recorded mileage of 228,158 miles represents an average of approximately 9,500 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 28,000 miles covered between January 2023 and January 2024, and another 22,000 miles covered between January 2024 and January 2025. This regular interval suggests the vehicle has not sat stationary for long periods, which often helps prevent the degradation of seals and fluid-related components. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the chassis and suspension components, given the high-mileage nature of the vehicle. Although the recent records do not list specific defects, vehicles of this age and mileage are prone to structural corrosion in the sills, floor pans, and mounting points. Inspect the rubber bushes in the suspension arms and check for play in the shock absorbers, as these are the first components to wear out after over 200,000 miles of travel.
