2002 Nissan Almera 1.5L Petrol · FJ52 WTL

The Nissan Almera presents a currently roadworthy status following its most recent test on 28 November 2023 at 77,320 miles, where it passed with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable across the available history, with four passes and two administrative-style failures logged between December 2021 and November 2023. Both failures show no defects recorded, indicating the vehicle was rejected on documentation or process grounds rather than mechanical condition. The odometer reads 77,320 miles against a 2002 build date, equating to roughly 3,222 miles per year. This is low for a 24-year-old vehicle. The records show gentle accumulation: 74,181 miles on 1 December 2021, 74,182 the next day, 75,859 by 6 December 2022, and 77,320 by 28 November 2023. No rapid mileage jumps or unexplained gaps appear in the data. The clean advisory sheet across all tests suggests either light use or a dry-climate storage pattern with minimal winter corrosion exposure. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion, as the MOT record captures only test-day condition and a 24-year-old vehicle can hide advancing rust in sills and suspension mounting points. The tester logged no advisories on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or exhaust emissions, yet the lack of flagged wear across four years of low mileage may simply reflect limited road time rather than confirmed component health. Given the twin 2023 and 2021 same-day fail-pass pairs with zero defects, the previous owner likely faced administrative rejections rather than neglected maintenance. The sparse, clean record implies basic upkeep was not skipped, but low annual mileage means fluids, brake calipers, and tyres may have aged through standing rather than worn through use. Verify rubber perishing and brake binding on a road test before purchase.
