This 2012 Nissan has 16 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 8,969 miles. The very low annual usage (2,402 mi/yr) is a significant concern that requires thorough investigation.
The vehicle shows very low annual usage, averaging 2,402 miles per year, with a notable drop to 811 miles between Sep 2022 and Apr 2023, and only 1,182 miles between Apr 2023 and Mar 2025.
Things to check
- Recurring brake system failures and advisories across multiple tests (e.g., Sep 2022, Apr 2023, Apr 2024).
- Recurring suspension arm failures and advisories across multiple tests (e.g., Sep 2022, Apr 2023, Apr 2024).
- Very low annual mileage (2,402 mi/yr) since registration, suggesting potential long periods of inactivity.
- Consistent pattern of minor failures (wipers, lights) and advisories (tyres, washer) across multiple tests.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until April 2027, indicating current roadworthiness.
- No DANGEROUS defects recorded in the MOT history.
- Consistent, low annual mileage suggests minimal wear and tear on engine/drivetrain.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a safe and well-designed vehicle.
