2002 Nissan Almera 1.5L Petrol · YK02 JGF

The vehicle presents a generally roadworthy profile with a stable maintenance trend over the last four years. Following a failure in November 2025 at 79,747 miles due to ineffective clearance from offside and nearside windscreen wipers, the car passed its immediate retest with no further defects recorded. This indicates that the owner is responsive to safety-critical failures, and the core mechanical and structural components have remained compliant across the most recent testing cycles. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 24-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,323 miles per year. The data shows consistent, low-intensity usage, moving from 66,951 miles in November 2022 to 79,747 miles in November 2025. This pattern of use suggests minimal mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though such low annual mileage often increases the risk of degradation in rubber-based components and seized brake calipers due to long periods of inactivity. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension assembly, as the tester noted oil misting on the nearside front shock absorber in November 2022 at 66,951 miles. While this was listed as a minor observation rather than a failure, it indicates a beginning seal failure that may progress to a significant leak. Given the vehicle's age and low usage, a thorough check of the chassis and sills for structural corrosion is essential, as these areas are prone to oxidation regardless of how many miles the car has travelled.
