2002 Nissan D22 2.5L Diesel · HJ02 AFU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 14 August 2025 at 143,749 miles. The maintenance trend shows a reactive pattern rather than proactive care. While the vehicle passed the 2025 test without defects, it failed just three miles prior due to a comprehensive failure of tyre-related items across all four corners. This indicates that the owner only addresses safety equipment when forced by a test failure, rather than performing routine replacements between intervals. At 24 years old, the recorded mileage of 143,749 miles represents a low annual average of approximately 6,000 miles. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 6,500 miles covered between September 2024 and August 2025, and approximately 2,800 miles between August 2023 and September 2024. This low mileage suggests the mechanical components have faced less stress, but it also implies that rubber-based components and seals may be suffering from age-related degradation rather than simple wear-and-tear. A buyer should specifically inspect the suspension assembly, as the nearside front wheel bearing was flagged with play in August 2023 at 134,462 miles. Given the recurring issues with tyres reaching the legal limit or sustaining structural damage in 2023 and 2025, a physical check for uneven tyre wear or potential alignment issues is necessary. The age of the D22 chassis also demands a thorough search for structural corrosion on the sills and wheel mounting points, as low-mileage status often masks hidden rust in vehicles of over two decades.
