2002 Nissan Almera 1.5L Petrol · HV02 ABO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT test in June 2025 with no recorded defects. While a failure was noted on the same day during that final inspection, the immediate pass suggests a minor issue was rectified prior to clearance. The overall maintenance trend is remarkably stable, as the car has consistently secured passes without advisories or faults over the last three testing cycles. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 24-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,427 miles per year. There is a notable gap in usage between tests, such as the 892 miles driven between 2022 and 2023, and the 1,223 miles between 2023 and 2024. This low frequency indicates minimal mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it also increases the likelihood of age-related degradation and component seizing due to long periods of stationary use. A buyer should prioritize a physical inspection of rubber and fluid components that perish over time rather than distance. Specific attention must be paid to the suspension bushes, tyres, and hoses to check for cracking or dry rot common in low-mileage older cars. Additionally, the buyer should verify the structural integrity of the chassis and artwork arches, as the low mileage does not protect the metal from environmental corrosion over two decades.
