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

This 2005 Nissan has 17 MOT tests on record with a 59% pass rate and 14,493 miles. While mileage is consistent, the high number of recurring issues and a 2010 service gap raise significant concerns.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 8,678 miles/year, with a notable drop to 4,912 miles/year between Feb 2015 and Feb 2016, but no decreases or anomalies.

Things to check

  • Seven test failures across 17 MOTs (Feb 2011, Feb 2012, Feb 2013, Feb 2014, Feb 2015, Feb 2016, Mar 2017) indicate persistent mechanical issues.
  • Eight recurring advisories for suspension arm (4 tests) and eight for brakes (3 tests) point to chronic wear and neglect.
  • The 2010 service gap (no MOT recorded) suggests a period of unverified maintenance or potential SORN.
  • High insurance group (44–47) means this vehicle will be expensive to insure.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
  • Most recent MOT passed despite 7 historical failures
  • Consistent annual mileage averaging 8,678 miles/year, indicating regular use.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering.
