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

This 2011 Nissan has 16 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 21,300 miles. While past failures were promptly rectified, the high insurance group and potential for future maintenance costs warrant careful consideration.

The vehicle shows extremely low usage, averaging only 2,037 miles per year, with a significant 13-year gap in MOT mileage readings (Jan 2011 to Sep 2018) and a further 6-year period (Sep 2018 to Jun 2025) showing only 154 miles.

Things to check

  • Recurring suspension advisories across 5 tests (e.g., Aug 2023, Jun 2025) indicate ongoing wear.
  • Recurring tyre advisories across 7 tests (e.g., Sep 2020, Sep 2021, Jun 2025) suggest a history of poor maintenance.
  • Very low mileage (21,300 miles in 15 years) raises questions about its true usage and potential for long periods of inactivity.
  • The 2024 MOT gap, combined with very low annual mileage, points to potential periods of disuse or neglect.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until April 2027, offering peace of mind for immediate roadworthiness.
  • All past MOT failures were immediately rectified, demonstrating responsible owner action.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering, as readings are consistent.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a generally safe vehicle.
