AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.

This 2012 Nissan has 15 MOT tests on record with a 73% pass rate and 29,732 miles. While these were addressed, the high insurance group and known model weaknesses in the community report warrant careful consideration.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 10,175 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or implausible spikes, showing normal usage over 14 years.

Things to check

  • Recurring steering rack advisories across 10 tests (2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025).
  • Recurring suspension arm advisories across 4 tests (2019, 2020, 2021, 2022).
  • Recurring brake pad advisories across 4 tests (2015, 2016, 2017, 2021).
  • Recurring tyre wear advisories across 6 tests (2015, 2016, 2017, 2019, 2021, 2025).

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2026-07-31, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • Consistent, normal mileage for its age (10,175 mi/yr), suggesting regular use.
  • All past failures were immediately rectified and passed retests, showing responsive ownership.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage manipulation in the MOT history.
