This 2012 Nissan has 15 MOT tests on record with a 73% pass rate and 21,312 miles. The high insurance group adds to the overall risk.
The vehicle shows consistent, normal annual usage averaging 8,590 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, and a recent low annual usage of 4,686 miles between June 2023 and June 2024.
Things to check
- DANGEROUS brake failure (pads and discs) on 2019-03-20, indicating severe wear.
- Recurring suspension arm advisories across 4 tests (2017, 2020, 2021, 2022) suggest chronic neglect.
- Recurring tyre advisories across 2 tests (2017, 2022) point to consistent wear.
- High insurance group (44–47) means significantly higher running costs.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2026-06-14, indicating current roadworthiness.
- Consistent, normal annual mileage (8,590 mi/yr) for its age, no fraud.
- No recurring major failures, only advisories, which were addressed.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) confirms high safety standards.
