This 2016 Nissan has 12 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 20,461 miles. The low mileage for its age, combined with high insurance costs, makes this a high-risk purchase.
The vehicle shows normal usage with 6,141 miles/year, averaging 8,000 annually, with no suspicious drops or spikes in the 20,461 miles recorded over 10 years.
Things to check
- Dangerous defect: Nearside Front Tyre tread depth below 1.6mm (5.2.3(e)) — Nov 2020.
- Dangerous defect: Nearside Rear Seat belt buckle not functioning (7.1.2(d)) — Nov 2020.

Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2027-02-09, indicating current roadworthiness.
