Insurance Agreed Valuation Certificate (Two Year) – Application

It is essential to get your Figaro valued to guarantee that it is properly insured. This will not only ensure that you are completely covered should the worst happen, but it could also save you money. As the Official Figaro Owners Club, we are authorised by Insurance Companies to provide a TWO YEAR INSURANCE VALUATION CERTIFICATE for your Nissan Figaro.

Obtaining a valuation can be time-consuming, so we tried to make the process as simple as possible.

BUYING A FIGARO?
If you are buying a Figaro, include a copy of the bill of sale or invoice from the seller in addition to the pictures requested (see below).

Vehicle Condition

To simplify the process of describing the condition of your vehicle, we have provided 5 options to select from on the form below:

  • CONCOURS
    Perfectly restored or immaculately preserved in its original condition (no custom paint) with no further work necessary. This would include the engine bay that would look like it did when the car was produced. Very few cars ever reach this level.
  • A1 CONDITION
    Genuinely excellent, in total original or restored condition and with real potential, pending slight improvements, to reach the level ‘Concours’.
  • GOOD CONDITION
    Regular quality but without the potential to be ‘Concours’ standard. Free from any significant faults, though lacking history and/or originality.
  • STANDARD QUALITY
    Reliable and holding a current MOT Certificate but would benefit from some attention.
  • DRIVEABLE
    Usable but in need of major work.
Note: Though it is human nature to over-value our possessions, please provide your own fair assessment of the value, which will then be compared to current market publications to ensure accuracy and fairness.

Odometer Reading – IMPORTANT!

The Figaro was manufactured in Japan, where kilometres are the unit of measurement. As the car was never officially exported by Nissan (grey import) if it is driven in the UK it will require a modification to comply with local driving laws. 

WHAT IS THE MODIFICATION?

There are two types of modifications used to ensure the car is legal to drive on UK roads:

CARD FITTED TO SPEEDO
The fitting of a small card into the Speedo dial allows the needle to display miles per hour. This is by far the cheapest and most common solution and can be achieved by purchasing the card. If you have a card fitted, it means your odometer is still in km, so insert this number into the CARD FITTED on the form below.

MPH STICKER APPLIED TO SPEEDO
If you have an MPH Sticker on your speedo, it means you have a transducer fitted. We believe this was a solution before the card above was created. The device is usually fitted by a garage as it’s more complicated to install.  It works just like a bicycle gearing system, basically slowing down the rotation to make the kilometres show in miles. It means that the odometer reading is now shown as miles.

To calculate the actual odometer reading in miles, you will need to know the km reading before the transducer was fitted. You need to convert this number to miles, then add it to the reading since the fitting and insert this figure into the MPH STICKER below. Read more

Please be realistic about your Insurance Valuation 

The figure we agree will be the current market value. Unfortunately, we cannot take into account the cost of restoration or any sentimental value. If you have recently purchased the vehicle, the purchase price will be the agreed value.
