2004 Nissan Almera 1.5L Petrol · HG54 JDF

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a consistent clean service record over the last five years. The most recent test on 5 August 2025 at 70,069 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This indicates a stable maintenance trend where the mechanical and structural components have met minimum DVSA standards without any recurring failures or escalating degradation noted in previous inspections. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 22-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,185 miles per year. Between October 2021 at 42,753 miles and August 2025 at 70,069 miles, the car covered 27,316 miles. This low usage suggests light travel, which typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components. However, the long intervals between tests on a vehicle of this age can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber-based components or seizing of mechanical parts that are not always captured during a stationary test. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer must conduct a physical inspection targeting age-related issues that low mileage often masks. Focus the inspection on structural corrosion around the sills, wheel arches, and mounting points, as older Nissan Almeras are prone to rust regardless of distance driven. Check the condition of suspension bushes and rubber boots for cracking or perish, as these materials degrade over time rather than through mileage. Verify the brake discs for pitting or corrosion, as low-use vehicles often suffer surface rust that can affect braking performance.
