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

This 2015 Nissan has 11 MOT tests on record with a 73% pass rate and 37,821 miles. While mileage is consistent, the high insurance group and known model weaknesses make this a high-risk purchase.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 9,210 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, but the recent low annual usage (e.g., 4,205 miles in 2023-2024) warrants investigation.

Things to check

  • AUTO-FLAGGED: DANGEROUS defect (Oct 2025): Nearside Front Lower Suspension arm ball joint likely to become detached (5.3.4
  • DANGEROUS defect: Nearside Front Lower Suspension arm ball joint excessively worn (Dec 2022) — a serious safety concern.
  • Recurring Suspension failures: Nearside Front Lower Suspension arm ball joint (Dec 2022) and Nearside Front Suspension arm pin or bush (Dec 2022) — indicates structural neglect.
  • Recurring Brake failures: Brake hydraulic reservoir cap missing (Nov 2021) and Rear Brake pad(s) wearing thin (Nov 2021) — points to a history of poor maintenance.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
  • Most recent MOT passed despite 3 historical failures
  • Valid MOT until October 2026, providing immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
  • Consistent mileage trajectory with no suspicious drops or spikes, indicating genuine usage.
