2005 Nissan Almera 1.5L Petrol · K11 DAR

A consistent record of roadworthiness defines this vehicle, with five tests since 2022 resulting in no recorded defects or advisories. This stable trend is evidenced by the most recent pass on 8 September 2025, following a same-day failure that listed no specific defects. The absence of recurring issues across several years suggests a lack of chronic mechanical deterioration in the areas typically scrutinised during annual inspections. The recorded mileage of 79,447 miles is low for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 3,783 miles per year over two decades. Such a low annual accumulation rate indicates the vehicle has seen limited road use. This usage pattern generally results in lower wear on the drivetrain and engine internals compared to high-mileage examples. As the MOT history contains no advisories or failures, there are no specific mechanical defects such as suspension bush wear, brake pipe corrosion, or exhaust leaks highlighted for investigation. This absence of recorded faults provides a clean baseline regarding the vehicle's structural integrity and safety components. A test drive should be used to verify that the vehicle's physical performance aligns with this clean record. Listen for any unusual knocks or rattles over uneven surfaces and check for steering pull or pedal judder, as these would indicate emerging faults not yet captured by the DVSA records. A visual inspection of the underbody for surface corrosion is also recommended to complement the official testing history.
