1991 Nissan Figaro 1.0L Petrol · H772 AAB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but exhibits a worsening trend regarding recurring fluid leaks and suspension-related wear. While the most recent test in March 2026 at 51,312 miles passed, it followed an immediate failure failure due to a defective gearbox mounting, power steering seepage, and insufficient washer fluid. The presence of persistent oil misting on both rear shock absorbers and ongoing leaks from the front area indicates that components are reaching the end of their functional life despite the low annual mileage. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 35-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,466 miles per year. There is a significant gap in records between March 2019 at 46,165 miles and March 2022 at 46,922 miles, suggesting stationary periods. This low usage explains the recurring age-related degradation, such as the perishing tyres and corroded coil springs noted between 2013 and 2024, where rubber and metal components suffered from environmental exposure rather than mechanical stress. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the steering system and gearbox area, as power steering seepage and gearbox leaks have been flagged in almost every test since 2018. The suspension requires close attention; the history shows a chronic issue with corroded coil springs across all four corners, and ball joint dust covers have frequently deteriorated. Furthermore, the buyer should verify the condition of the exhaust system and mounts, as previous tests highlighted general corrosion and structural failures over the years.
