This 2012 Nissan has 13 MOT tests on record with a 100% pass rate and 3,593 miles. The vehicle's history of consistent advisories on critical components like suspension arms and CV boots, despite no failures, warrants careful consideration.
The vehicle shows extremely low annual mileage of 4,472 miles per year, averaging 3,593 miles over 14 years, which is significantly below the UK average of 8,000 miles per year.
Things to check
- Extremely low annual mileage (4,472 miles/yr) for a 2012 vehicle raises questions about its true usage and potential for long periods of inactivity.
- The 2015-07-17 MOT advisory for 'wipers smearing slightly' is a minor but unaddressed issue from over 10 years ago.
Working in its favour
- No MOT failures recorded across 8 tests, indicating the vehicle has always passed its mandatory safety checks.
- The most recent MOT (Jul 2025) passed without any failures or significant advisories, suggesting current roadworthiness.
- Consistent, low annual mileage (4,472 miles/yr) suggests minimal wear and tear on engine and transmission components.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a strong safety record for this model.
