AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2016 Nissan has 9 MOT tests on record with a 89% pass rate and 15,268 miles. The presence of 5 recurring suspension advisories and a 2016 headlamp failure pattern, coupled with a 2010 CVT transmission failure in Nissan models, makes this a high-risk purchase.
The mileage trajectory is highly anomalous, showing a 910-mile decrease on 02 Feb 2026, followed by extremely low annual usage (e.g., 473 miles in 2023), indicating potential odometer fraud or severe data entry errors.
Things to check
- Mileage anomaly: 910-mile decrease on 02 Feb 2026 retest, highly suspicious.
- Headlamp failure pattern: Offside headlamp failed in Feb 2026, aligning with 2016 headlamp failure community report.
- Low annual mileage: 3,421 miles/year is well below UK average, suggesting long periods of inactivity.
- High insurance group: 44–47 out of 50, significantly more expensive than average.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2027-02-22, indicating current roadworthiness.
- No recent MOT failures, suggesting current issues are being addressed.
- Euro NCAP safety rating: 5/5 stars (2017), indicating good structural integrity.
- Consistent service intervals: every 9,000 miles, suggesting regular maintenance.
