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

This 2018 Nissan has 10 MOT tests on record with a 60% pass rate and 40,686 miles. While mileage is low for its age, the high insurance group and multiple failures warrant a thorough inspection.

The vehicle shows consistent mileage accumulation, averaging 12,079 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or round numbers, but a significant 315-mile gap in Dec 2022 suggests a possible SORN or service.

Things to check

  • Dangerous front brake pad failure on 2022-12-20, immediately after advisory on 2021-12-18.
  • Dangerous front suspension arm failure on 2022-12-20, following advisories on 2021-12-18 and 2022-12-20.
  • Recurring tyre advisories across 6 separate tests (2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2026) indicate chronic wear.
  • Recurring brake pad and disc advisories across 7 separate tests (2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2026) show a pattern of neglect.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2027-01-07, offering immediate peace of mind.
  • Consistent, low annual mileage (12,079 mi/yr) for its age, suggesting less wear.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies in the MOT history.
  • All dangerous and major defects were addressed and passed subsequent retests promptly.
