2004 Nissan Primera 2.0L Petrol · LR04 CWM

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a successful test in April 2026 at 118,911 miles. While the most recent result indicates no defects, the maintenance trend shows a period of instability over the last twelve months. The car failed in March 2026 and again in early April 2026, suggesting that specific mechanical or safety issues required immediate rectification to achieve the passing grade. Despite these recent failures, the vehicle maintained a clean record through the 2024 and 2025 annual inspections. At 22 years old, the recorded mileage of 118,911 miles is notably low, averaging approximately 5,400 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage patterns between March 2024 and March 2025, where the vehicle covered 6,845 miles. However, the gap of only 25 miles recorded between March 2025 and March 2026 indicates the car sat stationary for over a year. Long periods of inactivity often lead to the degradation of rubber-based components, seals, and fluid chemistry, regardless of the low overall mechanical wear. A buyer must perform a thorough physical inspection of the components that caused the two recent failures in early 2026. Given the age and the history of low mileage, check for perished suspension bushes, seized brake calipers, and leaking shocks that often result from sitting. Evaluate the structural integrity of the chassis, specifically the sills and sub mounting points, as corrosion is a common failure point for vehicles of this era. Verify the tyres for signs of dry rot or flat spotting, which the low mileage does not prevent.
