2004 Nissan Almera 2.2L Diesel · HF04 WWE

The vehicle's overall roadworthiness is assessed as good , but the maintenance trend is worsening given the significant deterioration in the most recent test. The 2023 MOT was passed with 124,198 miles, yet this record is now dated 2026, indicating the vehicle has been driven for over three years and has experienced a substantial loss of mechanical integrity. The mileage pattern is rapidly accelerating relative to the vehicle's age, which creates a critical gap in the history. The 2021 test at 111,031 miles was passed, but the 2021-09-27 failure at 111,029 miles demonstrates that the vehicle was driven for over a month prior to the current date. This short gap between a failed test and the present date, combined with the 2023 passing test, suggests that the vehicle has been used for only a few months since the last inspection, making the current mileage a significant indicator of high wear on critical components. To determine the current state of the vehicle, the buyer must inspect the suspension and brakes in person, as the 2023 and 2021 tests revealed severe wear on these parts. The 2021-09-27 failure was specifically noted for a worn front brake disc and a pad less than 1.5 mm thick, which are major structural risks. Additionally, the 2023 test flagged nearside front tyre wear and a worn offside suspension arm pin, suggesting that the vehicle has not been serviced for more than a year. A buyer should not rely on the 2023 pass alone; the 2021 failure and 2022-09-30 inspection (which noted a defective headlamp reflector) indicate a history of frequent servicing and potential corrosion issues that must be addressed before purchase.
