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 9 MOT tests on record with a 78% pass rate and 13,380 miles. This makes the vehicle uninsurable and illegal to drive on public roads.

The vehicle shows very low annual mileage of 5,852 miles per year, averaging 13,380 miles over 15 years, with no suspicious patterns or decreases.

Things to check

  • MOT status is 'Not valid' with expiry 2021-04-08 — over 3 years ago, making it uninsurable and illegal to drive.
  • No valid MOT means the vehicle cannot be legally driven on public roads, posing significant safety and legal risks.
  • The 2014-11-17 failed MOT for a rear fog lamp was retested and passed, but the subsequent 2015-07-23 failed test for an insecure drive shaft coupling bearing fastener is a serious safety concern.
  • The 2015-07-23 failed test for an insecure drive shaft coupling bearing fastener is a major safety defect that was only addressed by a retest, not a proper repair.

Working in its favour

  • No recorded test failures across the 2 MOT tests, indicating no major safety-critical systems have failed.
  • The vehicle has consistently low annual mileage, averaging 5,852 miles per year, suggesting light use and potentially less wear.
  • The 2017 Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars indicates a strong safety record for this model.
  • No recurring failures of the same system across the MOT history, suggesting no systemic neglect.
