This 2008 Nissan has 17 MOT tests on record with a 82% pass rate and 20,160 miles. The vehicle's low annual usage (3,928 miles/year) is also a red flag for potential long-term neglect.
The vehicle shows extremely low annual mileage averaging 3,928 miles/year, with a significant 5-year gap (2015-2020) where no MOT tests were recorded, suggesting potential SORN or off-road use.
Things to check
- Recurring suspension advisories (coil spring, arm bush) across multiple tests indicate chronic wear.
- Brake system advisories (pads, discs, calipers) are recurring, suggesting a pattern of neglect.
- Low annual mileage (3,928 miles/year) for an 18-year-old vehicle is a major red flag for long-term neglect.
- The 2025 MOT gap is a significant concern, as it suggests the vehicle may have been off-road for an extended period.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
- Most recent MOT passed despite 3 historical failures
- Valid MOT until April 2027 provides immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
- No major structural failures or dangerous defects are present in the MOT history.
