2006 Nissan Almera 1.5L Petrol · LS06 FUA

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a remarkably stable maintenance trend over the last four years. Following the most recent test on 7 June 2025 at 99,040 miles, the car passed with no defects or advisories. This continues a streak of clean passes from 2022, 2023, and 2024, indicating that the vehicle has maintained its operational standards without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a twenty-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,000 miles per year. Between June 2021 at 85,232 miles and June 2025 at 99,040 miles, the car covered 13,808 miles, showing consistent use. This low mileage generally suggests less wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it can also increase the risk of rubber-based components degrading due to age rather than mechanical stress. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the tyres and exterior trim, as the 2021 test flagged perishing on both the nearside and offside rear tyres. While these issues were resolved in subsequent tests, low-mileage vehicles often suffer from dry rot in sidewalls that tread depth alone does not reveal. Check for structural corrosion on the sills and suspension mounting points, as the age of the Almera makes it susceptible to rust regardless of the low miles driven.
