AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2002 Nissan has 27 MOT tests on record with a 74% pass rate and 21,618 miles. The vehicle's low mileage for its age, combined with a 24-year-old vehicle, makes it a high-risk purchase.
The vehicle shows extremely low annual mileage averaging 3,954 miles/year, with a significant drop in usage from 2019 onwards, raising odometer fraud concerns.
Things to check
- Major brake failures in 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022 indicate chronic system neglect.
- Recurring suspension failures and advisories in 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022 point to structural corrosion.
- The 2001 Nissan Sentra PCM ground wire failure and 1996 Nissan Hardbody timing chain guides disintegrating are severe model-specific weaknesses.
Working in its favour
- The vehicle has a valid MOT until June 2026, indicating it is currently roadworthy.
- No recent MOT failures or advisories, suggesting the owner has been addressing issues as they arise.
- The 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating for 2017 is a positive, indicating good safety features for its age.
