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

This 2012 Nissan has 13 MOT tests on record with a 92% pass rate and 44,578 miles. The recurring nature of these wear items is a major concern for a 14-year-old vehicle.

The mileage trajectory shows consistent, low annual usage (6,485 miles/year), with a recent spike of 9,557 miles in the last year (Nov 2024 to Nov 2025), which is unusual for a 14-year-old car.

Things to check

  • Oct 2018: Offside Front Anti-roll bar linkage ball joint excessively worn — a critical suspension failure.
  • Oct 2018: Tyre worn close to legal limit/worn on edge rears — immediate replacement needed.
  • Oct 2018: Brake pad(s) wearing thin rears — significant wear item replacement imminent.
  • Oct 2019: Emissions advisory noted — monitor for potential DPF or catalytic converter issues.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
  • Valid MOT until November 2026, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No dangerous defects recorded in the MOT history.
  • Consistent, low annual mileage (6,485 miles/year) suggests light use.
