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

This 2008 Nissan has 19 MOT tests on record with a 79% pass rate and 48,093 miles. The low annual mileage for its age, combined with high insurance costs, warrants careful consideration.

The vehicle shows normal usage with 48,093 miles over 18 years, averaging 7,534 miles per year, which is consistent with UK driving.

Things to check

  • Recurring Tyre Failures: Multiple tyre-related failures (2011, 2013, 2022) and advisories (2019, 2023) indicate a persistent issue.
  • Major Suspension Advisory: A significant suspension arm advisory in May 2023 suggests significant wear and potential future costs.
  • High Insurance Group: The vehicle is in insurance group 44–47, making it an expensive and high-risk purchase.
  • Low Annual Mileage: While mileage is consistent, the low annual usage (7,534 mi/yr) for an 18-year-old car is a concern.

Working in its favour

  • Recent Clean MOT: The vehicle passed its most recent MOT in May 2025, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • Consistent Mileage: The mileage trajectory is consistent, showing no signs of tampering or unusual spikes.
  • No Recurring Brake Failures: Despite a recurring advisory, there are no recorded failures for brakes.
  • Euro NCAP Rating: The vehicle holds a 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating, indicating good safety features.
