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 20 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 13,257 miles. While past failures were promptly rectified, the high insurance group and potential for future electrical issues warrant significant caution.

The vehicle shows very low annual usage, averaging 2,679 miles/year, with a suspiciously low 82 miles recorded between 2008 and 2016, and a significant 8,322-mile jump before July 2018.

Things to check

  • Recurring electrical/lighting faults across multiple MOT tests (e.g., Aug 2022, Aug 2023).
  • Very low annual mileage (2,679 mi/yr) suggests limited use or potential issues.
  • Major failure for engine/oil system in Aug 2020, though immediately rectified.
  • Major failure for windscreen wiper in Aug 2022, though immediately rectified.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until September 2026, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • All past failures were immediately rectified, demonstrating responsive ownership.
  • No recurring major structural or mechanical failures (e.g., brakes, suspension).
  • Consistent mileage trajectory, despite low annual usage, shows no fraud.
