2002 Nissan Almera 1.8L Petrol · MU02 AEP

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent recorded data. The final test conducted on 15 November 2021 at 146,818 miles passed with no recorded defects or advisories, indicating that at that point in time the car met all minimum safety and emissions standards. However, there is no recorded MOT data for nearly five years, meaning the current roadworthiness status is unverified and the vehicle is likely long out of test as of June 2026. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a 24-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,117 miles annually. Between September 2018 and November 2021, the car covered 10,506 miles, showing a steady rate of use rather than long periods of neglect or sudden high-intensity bursts. This low annual suggests the vehicle was used for short trips or local commuting during that period. The lack of records since 2021 is a significant concern, as stationary components such as rubber seals and brake fluids can degrade over years without use, leading to sudden mechanical failure. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the structural integrity, specifically focusing on the sills and rear suspension arches where these Almeras are prone to advanced corrosion. Given the age and the gap in testing, the inspector should check for seized brake calipers, perished suspension bushes, and leaking coolant lines. The failure in September 2018 followed by an immediate pass suggests the previous owner was reactive to faults, but the total lack of recent data means the current state of the drivetrain and braking system remains entirely unknown.
