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 80% pass rate and 48,837 miles.

The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 6,222 miles per year, with a significant drop to 920 miles between March 2024 and March 2025, and only 1,093 miles between March 2025 and March 2026.

Things to check

  • Recurring brake advisories (Mar 2018, Mar 2020) and a recent binding failure (Mar 2018) suggest ongoing brake system issues.
  • Persistent tyre wear advisories (Mar 2019, Mar 2024) and a recent damaged tyre advisory (Mar 2024) indicate a history of poor tyre maintenance.
  • A significant drop in annual mileage (920 miles in 2024-2025) after consistent low usage could signal a change in driving habits or vehicle storage.
  • The vehicle has a high insurance group (44-47), making it expensive to insure and maintain.

Working in its favour

  • The vehicle has a valid MOT until March 2027, indicating it recently passed a safety inspection.
  • Consistent low annual mileage (6,222 miles/year) suggests light use and potential lower wear on components.
  • No major structural failures or dangerous defects are recorded in the MOT history.
  • The car has a 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating, indicating good safety features for its age.
