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 11 MOT tests on record with a 64% pass rate and 17,499 miles. The mileage is low, but the repeated dangerous defects and high insurance group make this a high-risk purchase.
The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage averaging 6,665 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, but this is overshadowed by the dangerous MOT failures.
Things to check
- DANGEROUS brake failures on 2019-09-24 and 2025-09-16 indicate severe neglect.
- Recurring suspension ball joint dust cover failures on 2023-08 and 2024-09 show a pattern of poor maintenance.
- The 2025-09-16 MOT pass followed a failure with an advisory for worn front brake pads, a known recurring issue.
- The 2019-09-24 MOT pass immediately followed a failure with dangerous brake defects, a classic 'just passed' tactic.
Working in its favour
- The vehicle has a valid MOT until 2026-09-29, indicating it is currently roadworthy.
- Mileage is consistently low, averaging 6,665 miles/year, suggesting light use.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies in the MOT history.
- The 2017 Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars suggests a generally safe vehicle design.
