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

This 2007 Nissan has 21 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 20,295 miles. The vehicle's MOT status is currently 'Not valid' with an expiry date of 2024-08-09, which is highly irregular.

The mileage trajectory is consistent with normal UK usage, averaging 6,367 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or spikes.

Things to check

  • MOT status is 'Not valid' with expiry 2024-08-09, a critical red flag for a 19-year-old vehicle.
  • Recurring major failures in lights, suspension, brakes, and emissions across multiple tests.
  • Consistent pattern of advisories escalating to failures on the same components, indicating systemic neglect.
  • The 2012-07-02 test failed on brakes and stop lamp, then passed the same day, a classic 'just passed MOT' tactic.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 7 historical failures
  • Consistent, normal mileage trajectory averaging 6,367 miles per year.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage manipulation.
  • The 2017 Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars is a positive for safety features.
