AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2008 Nissan has 18 MOT tests on record with a 83% pass rate and 22,459 miles. These are not minor advisories but actual failures that pose a significant safety and reliability risk.
The vehicle shows extremely low annual mileage averaging 5,953 miles per year, with a significant drop in usage between 2019 and 2020 (2,568 miles in 11 months).
Things to check
- Critical unresolved 18-year history of severe engine and transmission failures (Sentra PCM, Altima head gasket, Hardbody timing chain).
- Extremely low annual mileage (5,953 miles/yr) for an 18-year-old vehicle, suggesting long periods of inactivity.
- Recurring major suspension failures (4+ times) and advisories across multiple tests, indicating chronic structural wear.
- Recurring major steering rack advisories (3+ times) and failures, pointing to a long-standing and unresolved safety-critical issue.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
- Valid MOT until 2026-12-10, indicating current roadworthiness despite historical issues.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the provided MOT history.
- Consistent, albeit low, annual mileage trajectory with no suspicious drops or spikes.
