AI verdict AVOID 40/100

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 26 MOT tests on record with a 81% pass rate and 53,278 miles. The vehicle's extremely low mileage and a 24-year age present significant risks.

The vehicle shows suspiciously low mileage before Sep 2021 (400 mi/yr equivalent), followed by very low annual usage (average 1,500 mi/yr) that is well below the UK average of 8,000 mi/yr.

Things to check

  • Recurring major failures in critical safety systems: brakes (Feb 2020), tyres (Feb 2020), suspension (Feb 2020).
  • Extremely low mileage recorded before Sep 2021 (400 mi/yr equivalent) suggests long periods of inactivity.
  • 24-year-old vehicle with a 2002 registration date indicates significant accumulated wear and age.
  • Consistent pattern of recurring advisories on the same components (e.g., coil spring, headlamp aim) suggests a history of deferred maintenance.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until September 2026, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No recent major failures or advisories on the most recent MOT (Aug 2025).
  • Consistent mileage trajectory since Sep 2021, showing no suspicious drops or spikes.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) suggests a generally safe underlying platform.
