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

This 2003 Nissan has 24 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 18,077 miles. The vehicle's MOT status is currently 'Not valid' with an expiry date of 2022-03-18, which is highly irregular for a 23-year-old car.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual mileage of 4,938 miles per year, averaging 18,077 miles over 23 years, which is significantly below the UK average of 8,000 miles.

Things to check

  • MOT status 'Not valid' with expiry 2022-03-18 for a 23-year-old vehicle is a major red flag.
  • Dangerous tyre failure (Mar 2019) and dangerous brake failure (Mar 2021) indicate severe safety neglect.
  • Recurring suspension arm advisories (Mar 2020, Mar 2021, Mar 2022) suggest chronic structural wear.
  • Major emissions failures (Mar 2020, Mar 2021, Mar 2022) point to persistent engine or exhaust issues.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 8 historical failures
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a strong safety record for its era.
  • Consistent, low annual mileage (4,938 miles/yr) suggests light use and potential for longevity.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the provided MOT history.
