2002 Nissan Almera 1.8L Petrol · SD52 BCK

Based on the official DVSA record, the most recent MOT test took place on 21 January 2022 at 123,190 miles, and the vehicle passed with no defects recorded. That single clean result indicates the car met the minimum roadworthiness standards at that point, but the record is too sparse to establish any meaningful maintenance trend. You cannot call the condition stable, worsening, or improving; there is simply one data point covering a vehicle now four years and seven months past its last examination. The mileage pattern is modest for a 2002 Almera. At 123,190 miles over roughly 24 years, the car averages about 5,133 miles per year, which fits light, regular use rather than heavy commuting or prolonged storage. The absence of intermediate MOT history means no obvious periods of rapid accumulation or long standing gaps are visible, and the lack of prior mileage readings leaves the odometer's consistency unverified across time. A clean pass at that mileage does suggest the suspension and drivetrain were not obviously worn, but it provides no evidence of how the car has been used or stored since January 2022. Because the only recorded test shows no defects, there are no recurring advisories to track. That said, a buyer must treat the MOT history as effectively stale. With no inspection for over four years, tyres will likely have aged and perished regardless of tread depth, brake discs and pads may have corroded from standing or light use, and suspension bushes or coil springs could have degraded. The older Nissans of this era are also prone to structural rust on sills, floor pans, and suspension mounting points, so a fresh pre-purchase inspection should focus on corrosion and brake binding rather than any faults flagged in the sparse history. The paperwork confirms a clean pass in early 2022; it says nothing about the vehicle's condition now.
