This 2008 Nissan has 23 MOT tests on record with a 70% pass rate and 18,235 miles. The mileage anomaly is a significant red flag for fraud.

The mileage trajectory shows consistent low annual usage (4,505 miles/yr) until Apr 2026, when a massive 16,975-mile jump occurred, indicating a potential odometer fraud.

Things to check

  • AUTO-FLAGGED: DANGEROUS defect (Apr 2026): Nearside Rear Inner Tyre has a tear, caused by separation or partial failure of
  • DANGEROUS tyre defect recorded on 2011-03-23, a critical safety failure.
  • Unusually high mileage jump of 16,975 miles in the last year (Apr 2026) suggests odometer fraud.
  • Recurring major failures in suspension (Apr 2022, Apr 2025) and brakes (Apr 2023, Apr 2025).

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until April 2027, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No recurring failures in critical safety systems like brakes or steering.
  • Consistent low annual mileage for most of its life, suggesting light use.
  • No evidence of outstanding finance (HPI check needed).
