This 2008 Nissan has 22 MOT tests on record with a 68% pass rate and 22,875 miles. The mileage trajectory is also highly suspicious, with extremely low usage for its first 10 years.

The vehicle shows extremely low mileage for its first 10 years (93 mi/yr equivalent), followed by a significant spike to 73,576 miles by April 2019, indicating a major discrepancy.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS defect: Suspension failure recorded on 2013-03-16 test.

  • Suspicious Mileage: Extremely low initial mileage (93 mi/yr) for a 2008 vehicle.
  • Recurring Suspension: Multiple advisories for suspension arm issues since 2013.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT: Currently holds a valid MOT certificate until February 2027.
  • No Odometer Fraud: Mileage has consistently increased since the initial low period.
  • No Recurring Brake Issues: Only one minor brake advisory in 2013.
  • No Recurring Emissions Issues: Only one minor emissions advisory in 2013.
