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

This 2003 Nissan has 25 MOT tests on record with a 80% pass rate and 24,354 miles. While mileage is low, the high insurance group and 23-year age present significant risks.

The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 5,726 miles per year, with a notable drop from 98,131 miles in July 2018 to 102,676 miles in July 2019, indicating a period of very low usage.

Things to check

  • Major failure for Nearside Front Suspension arm pin or bush excessively worn on 2024-06-21.
  • Recurring advisories for coil spring, headlamp, and suspension arm across multiple tests.
  • High insurance group (44-47) indicates expensive premiums and higher risk.
  • Consistent low annual mileage (5,726 mi/yr) suggests limited use and potential issues.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2026-07-09, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies.
  • Consistent retesting and immediate rectification of failures.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) for a 2003 model is excellent.
