AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2013 Nissan has 15 MOT tests on record with a 73% pass rate and 20,299 miles. While many of these were addressed, the high insurance group and potential for ongoing maintenance costs warrant a cautious approach.
The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 4,988 miles per year, with a significant drop to 824 miles between March 2025 and March 2026, indicating very light recent use.
Things to check
- Recurring tyre advisories across 12 tests (Mar 2020, Mar 2021, Mar 2022, Mar 2023, Mar 2024, Mar 2025, Mar 2026) suggest chronic wear.
- Recurring brake pad advisories across 5 tests (Mar 2020, Mar 2022, Mar 2023, Mar 2024) and disc advisories (Mar 2026) indicate ongoing brake system maintenance.
- Recurring suspension arm ball joint advisories (Mar 2023, Mar 2024, Mar 2026) and parking brake efficiency (Mar 2024) point to a history of wear and tear.
- The car has been driven very lightly in recent years, averaging only 824 miles between March 2025 and March 2026.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 4 historical failures
- Valid MOT until March 2027, offering peace of mind for the next three years.
- Consistent low mileage (4,988 miles/year) suggests light use and potentially lower wear on engine components.
- No major structural failures or dangerous defects recorded in the MOT history.
