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 17 MOT tests on record with a 65% pass rate and 49,021 miles. While mileage is consistent, the pattern of neglect and repeated issues makes this vehicle a high-risk purchase.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 11,252 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, but the recurring major failures in critical safety systems are a significant concern.

Things to check

  • Recurring major suspension failures (Oct 2022, Sep 2023) indicate chronic neglect.
  • Recurring major brake failures (Dec 2021, Oct 2022, Sep 2023) point to systemic issues.
  • Offside Front Shock absorbers had a serious fluid leak (Oct 2022), a major safety defect.
  • Offside Rear Service brake excessively binding (Oct 2022) is a major safety failure.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
  • Consistent annual mileage averaging 11,252 miles/year, indicating regular use.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the MOT history.
  • The vehicle has a valid MOT until October 2026, indicating current roadworthiness.
