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 19 MOT tests on record with a 58% pass rate and 21,088 miles. The vehicle's MOT status is currently 'Not valid' with an expiry date of 2026-02-07, which is a significant red flag.

The mileage trajectory shows normal usage, averaging 11,005 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or implausible spikes, but a significant 2021 service gap is noted.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS defect: Tyres (Jan 2022) and Brakes (Feb 2024) indicate severe past neglect.
  • Recurring Suspension Arm failures (8 tests) and Headlamp issues (4 tests) show systemic neglect.
  • Major Exhaust failures (6 tests) and Emissions issues (4 tests) point to chronic engine/driveline problems.
  • The MOT status is 'Not valid' with an expiry date of 2026-02-07, which is a critical and unexplained issue.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 8 historical failures
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a generally safe vehicle.
  • Consistent mileage trajectory with no suspicious drops or implausible spikes.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the MOT records.
