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 14 MOT tests on record with a 86% pass rate and 23,046 miles. The vehicle's MOT status is currently 'Not valid' despite a future expiry date, requiring immediate clarification.

The vehicle shows consistent, normal annual usage averaging 6,713 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, and a recent increase in annual mileage.

Things to check

  • Recurring advisories on suspension components (14 flags) and tyres (7 flags) across multiple tests indicate systemic wear.
  • Recurring advisories on brakes (7 flags) suggest a pattern of wear, not isolated incidents.
  • MOT status is 'Not valid' as of the report date, despite a future expiry date of 2026-05-23, requiring seller clarification.
  • The 2015-02-23 MOT pass at 23,046 miles is unusually early for a 2012 vehicle, warranting investigation.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
  • Most recent MOT passed despite 2 historical failures
  • Consistent, low annual mileage averaging 6,713 miles/year, indicating light use.
  • No major structural failures or recurring dangerous defects (e.g., brakes, suspension) in the MOT history.
