AI verdict AVOID 46/100

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

This 2009 Nissan has 22 MOT tests on record with a 64% pass rate and 32,815 miles. The recurring issues and unexplained service gaps make this a high-risk purchase.

The mileage trajectory shows normal usage until 2020, then a significant drop to 4,000-10,000 miles annually, with a 2023 service gap.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS defect: Offside Front Tyre worn close to legal limit (Dec 2018) escalated to dangerous failure (Jan 2025).
  • Recurring suspension arm failures (Dec 2022, Jan 2024, Jan 2026) and CV boot issues (Dec 2020, Dec 2022, Jan 2024) indicate chronic neglect.
  • Six test failures and one dangerous defect in the last 3 years (Jan 2024, Jan 2025, Jan 2026) point to systemic, unresolved issues.
  • The 2023 MOT gap suggests the vehicle may have been off-road or SORN, raising questions about maintenance during that period.

Working in its favour

  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the provided MOT history.
  • The vehicle has a valid MOT until January 2027, indicating it is currently roadworthy.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) suggests a generally safe vehicle design.
