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

This 2002 Nissan has 32 MOT tests on record with a 62% pass rate and 75,268 miles. The vehicle's MOT status is currently 'Not valid' with an expiry date of 2025-08-10, which is highly irregular for a 24-year-old car.

The mileage trajectory shows a significant drop from 227,561 miles in July 2018 to 234,743 miles in July 2019, followed by extremely low annual usage (e.g., 2,462 miles in 2022) before a sharp increase to 32,791 miles in 2024.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS defect: Nearside Rear Suspension component mounting excessively corroded (Aug 2022).
  • Recurring MAJOR failures: Brakes (4 times), Suspension (4 times), Bodywork (1 time), and Tyres (2 times).
  • High mileage early life: 227,561 miles by July 2018, then only 7,102 miles in 2 years (2019).
  • Mileage spikes: 32,791 miles in 2024 after years of low use, indicating potential neglect.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP safety rating: 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a strong safety record for its era.
  • Consistent mileage: Despite early high usage, the car has covered significant distances over its lifetime.
  • No recent MOT failures: The last MOT failure was in July 2024, suggesting the owner addressed the issues.
