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

This 2011 Nissan has 19 MOT tests on record with a 63% pass rate and 41,364 miles. While mileage is consistent, the high insurance group and known model-specific issues warrant significant caution.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 9,856 miles/year, with a notable drop in recent years (2023: 3,513 mi/yr, 2024: 3,876 mi/yr, 2026: 1,171 mi/yr), suggesting a change in usage or potential issues with odometer readings.

Things to check

  • Recurring major failures: Windscreen (3 times), Tyres (10+ advisories), Suspension (4+ advisories), and Steering (7+ advisories) show chronic neglect.
  • Recent MOT failures: Failed on 2026-01-01 for steering and 2026-05-06 for emissions, indicating current issues.
  • Unexplained mileage drop: Annual mileage significantly reduced from 12k to 1k miles in recent years (2023-2026).
  • High insurance group: 44–47 out of 50, making it an expensive and high-risk purchase.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
  • Most recent MOT passed despite 7 historical failures
  • Valid MOT until 2027-05-06, providing immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
  • Consistent mileage history: Average 9,856 miles/year aligns with typical UK usage, no fraud detected.
