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 75% pass rate and 38,983 miles. The mileage is suspiciously low for its age, and the car is not ULEZ-compliant, making it a high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual mileage averaging 7,475 miles/year, with a significant drop in usage between 2020 and 2022, raising odometer fraud concerns.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS tyre defect recorded on 2015-02-17, indicating severe neglect.
  • Recurring suspension failures (ball joints) on 2019-03-15 and 2024-11-27.
  • Recurring steering failures (ball joints) on 2019-03-15 and 2024-11-27.
  • Recurring brake failures (imbalanced) on 2016-03-15 and 2020-03-15.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2026-12-03, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No evidence of outstanding finance (HPI check needed).
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) suggests good inherent safety.
  • Consistent, albeit low, annual mileage trajectory over its lifespan.
