2005 Nissan Almera 1.8L Petrol · HT54 GKX

The most recent MOT on 2025-11-14 confirmed the 2005 Nissan Almera passed with 47,746 miles, and no defects were recorded. This suggests the vehicle met safety standards at that time, with no immediate concerns flagged. However, the prior MOT in 2024-11-07 (45,549 miles) also passed without defects, indicating a period of stable performance. Older MOT records reveal recurring issues related to corrosion and fluid seepage. In 2020-01-15, a "slight weap" in the rack union and surface corrosion on brake pipe unions were noted. By 2019-12-18, corrosion around rear inner sills and a power steering component seepage were recorded. A 2019-01-09 MOT mentioned power steering pipe seepage and poor front wiper blades. These issues suggest vulnerabilities in the vehicle’s underbody, steering system, and bodywork, likely exacerbated by exposure to moisture or road conditions. The trend of defects appears to have improved since 2020, with no further corrosion or seepage reported in the last two MOTs. However, the absence of defects in recent tests does not eliminate the risk of latent issues, particularly in areas previously flagged.
