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

This 2018 Nissan has 8 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 14,943 miles. The extremely low mileage for its age, combined with a high insurance group, makes this a high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual usage, averaging only 4,604 miles per year, with a significant spike in usage between April 2024 and May 2025 (8,898 miles in one year).

Things to check

  • AUTO-FLAGGED: DANGEROUS defect (May 2025): Front Inner Brake pad(s) less than 1.5 mm thick (1.1.13 (a) (ii))

  • 2026-05-13: DANGEROUS defect recorded for Front Inner Brake pad(s) less than 1.5 mm thick.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2027-05-17, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No mileage anomalies or fraud detected in the MOT history.
  • Immediate retests after failures show owner's proactive approach to repairs.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) for crashworthiness is a positive.
