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 16 MOT tests on record with a 69% pass rate and 43,748 miles. The mileage trajectory is also highly suspicious, indicating potential odometer fraud.

The vehicle shows suspiciously low mileage before Jan 2024 (825 mi/yr equivalent), followed by a significant spike in usage from 2024 onwards, indicating potential odometer fraud.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS brake failure on 2025-01-10, immediately preceding a pass.
  • 2020 MOT gap indicates the vehicle was likely off-road or SORN, raising questions.
  • Recurring suspension arm failures (2025-01-10) and brake disc advisories (2023-01-10) signal chronic neglect.
  • Brake pad wear escalated from advisory (2023-01-10) to DANGEROUS (2025-01-10), a critical safety failure.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2027-01-28, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No recurring failures on critical safety systems like steering or emissions.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) suggests good inherent safety features.
  • Consistent annual mileage (8,843 mi/yr) before 2024, aligning with UK average.
