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 17 MOT tests on record with a 65% pass rate and 64,910 miles. The car has a high insurance group and a known history of timing chain issues in Nissan models.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 8,687 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or implausible spikes, though usage has been low in recent years.

Things to check

  • Recurring brake disc wear advisories (2017, 2019) and a DANGEROUS brake failure (2020) indicate persistent brake system neglect.
  • Multiple windscreen wiper failures (2019, 2020) and a major windscreen failure (2020) suggest a history of poor visibility maintenance.
  • The 2017-07-21 MOT failure for parking brake efficiency, combined with worn brake discs, points to a broader brake system weakness.
  • The 2019-08-01 MOT failure for a DANGEROUS brake pad defect, immediately followed by a PASS, is a classic 'just passed MOT' seller tactic.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
  • Consistent mileage averaging 8,687 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or implausible spikes.
  • Valid MOT until 2026-08-12, indicating current roadworthiness and recent safety checks.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the provided MOT history.
