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 16 MOT tests on record with a 69% pass rate and 29,988 miles. The mileage is low for its age, but the pattern of repeated safety-critical system failures makes this vehicle a high-risk purchase.
The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage averaging 6,659 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, but this is overshadowed by the severe recurring mechanical failures.
Things to check
- Five major brake failures (Jan 2022, Jan 2023, Feb 2024, Jan 2025, Jan 2026) indicate chronic system neglect.
- Three major steering failures (Jan 2022, Jan 2023, Feb 2024) and 3 advisories show a pattern of suspension wear.
- Recurring tyre advisories (Jan 2019, Jan 2020, Jan 2022, Jan 2023) suggest a long-standing issue with tyre condition.
- The vehicle has been through 19 prior advisories since Jan 2021, indicating a high level of ongoing maintenance needs.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 5 historical failures
- Mileage is consistently low at 6,659 miles/year, suggesting light use and potentially lower wear.
- The vehicle has a valid MOT until February 2027, providing immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering is present in the MOT history.
