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 14 MOT tests on record with a 79% pass rate and 34,565 miles. While mileage is consistent, the high insurance group and lack of a current MOT require careful consideration.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 8,393 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, showing normal usage for its age.

Things to check

  • Recurring brake advisories across 4 tests (Jan 2020, Jan 2021, Jan 2022, Jan 2023) suggest a systemic issue.
  • Major failure for Nearside Front Headlamp aim on Jan 2025, immediately followed by a PASS, is a red flag for 'just passed MOT' tactics.
  • Major failure for Nearside Front Windscreen wiper on Jan 2025, after being a PRS advisory in Jan 2020, indicates escalating neglect.
  • Major failure for Emissions on Jan 2024, though rectified, is a significant safety concern.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 3 historical failures
  • Consistent, normal annual mileage averaging 8,393 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the provided MOT history.
  • The vehicle has a 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating, indicating good structural integrity.
