2004 Nissan Almera 1.5L Petrol · FN54 UJW

The 2004 Nissan Almera presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 14 September 2024 at 86,040 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing a clean run of examinations. The September 2023 entry shows a failed test immediately followed by a pass on the same day at 80,780 miles, with no defects logged against either result, indicating a clerical or procedural anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. Recorded mileage sits at 86,040 against an approximate 22-year lifespan, equating to roughly 3,911 miles per year. The odometer moved from 74,453 in September 2021 to 77,531 in September 2022, then 80,780 by September 2023, and 86,040 by September 2024. Annual accumulation stays between 3,200 and 5,300 miles with no abrupt jumps. Such low use over two decades suggests extended standing periods are likely, though the DVSA record itself is sparse and free of advisories throughout. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion, as the MOT history carries no advisories that would reveal early rust on sills, subframes, or suspension mounting points. Low-mileage cars left idle often develop perished rubber components, including suspension bushes and brake hoses, alongside seized calipers from disuse. Verify the condition of brake discs for face corrosion and check coil springs for fracturing under the arch liners. The twin September 2023 test entries with zero defects warrant a DVSA data check to confirm no omitted failure reason. Otherwise the documented history implies conscientious, if infrequent, use with no recurring wear trends to date.
