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

This 2004 Nissan has 23 MOT tests on record with a 74% pass rate and 16,755 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the pattern of recurring failures and unexplained low usage makes this vehicle a high-risk purchase.

The MOT history shows a 20-year gap in mileage readings (Jan 2004 to Sep 2019), followed by a significant drop in annual usage from 5,659 miles (Sep 2020) to just 34 miles (Jul 2023), indicating a major data integrity issue.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS tyre defects recorded in 4 separate tests (e.g., Jul 2023, Aug 2024).
  • Mileage shows a 20-year gap (Jan 2004 to Sep 2019) and a significant drop in annual usage.
  • Recurring failures in critical safety systems like lights, engine, and emissions.
  • Major brake disc wear advisory (Sep 2019) escalated to a failure (Jul 2023).

Working in its favour

  • Vehicle has a current, valid MOT certificate until August 2026.
  • No evidence of outstanding finance (HPI check needed).
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a generally safe platform.
  • Consistent, albeit low, annual mileage since 2019 suggests regular use.
