AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2012 Nissan has 15 MOT tests on record with a 73% pass rate and 25,085 miles. While mileage is low, the high insurance group and known model-specific weaknesses in timing belts and CVT transmissions present significant risks.
The vehicle exhibits very low annual mileage averaging 5,689 miles per year, with a significant drop in usage between 2018 and 2020 (10,408 miles in 2 years), and subsequent periods of low activity.
Things to check
- Recurring tyre failures/advisories across 7 tests (Jun 2018, Jan 2020, Feb 2022, May 2026) indicate chronic neglect.
- Suspension arm ball joint advisory (Jan 2020) escalated to dangerous failure (Feb 2022), a classic pattern of deferred maintenance.
- Brake disc wear advisory (May 2026) and disc failure (Feb 2022) suggest a history of poor brake system upkeep.
- Service gap in 2019 with no MOT recorded raises questions about vehicle maintenance and roadworthiness during that period.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
- Valid MOT until May 2027 provides immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
- Low mileage (5,689 mi/yr) suggests less wear and tear on engine and transmission components.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the provided MOT history.
