This 2008 Nissan has 14 MOT tests on record with a 71% pass rate and 16,008 miles. The vehicle's MOT status is currently 'Not valid' with an expiry date of 2022-01-05, which is highly irregular for an 18-year-old car.

The MOT history shows a critical 830,001-mile increase between 18 Jun 2018 (922,279 mi) and 18 Jun 2018 (92,278 mi), followed by a 819,185-mile decrease to 103,094 mi by 19 Jul 2019, indicating severe odometer fraud.

Things to check

  • AUTO-FLAGGED: Odometer fraud signal: Mileage decreased between Jun 2018 (922,279 mi) and Jul 2019 (103,094 mi) — possible odometer tamper
  • Mileage decreased by 819,185 miles between 18 Jun 2018 (922,279 mi) and 19 Jul 2019 (103,094 mi).
  • Mileage increased by 830,001 miles on 18 Jun 2018 (922,279 mi) compared to 18 Jun 2018 (92,278 mi).
  • MOT status is 'Not valid' with an expiry date of 2022-01-05, which is highly irregular for an 18-year-old vehicle.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a strong safety focus for this model.
  • Consistent annual mileage of 8,297 miles/yr (UK average: 8,000) suggests regular, not excessive, use.
  • No recurring failures on the same critical system (e.g., brakes, suspension) across multiple tests.
  • The vehicle has a valid MOT certificate from 2014-06-20, showing a recent pass at that time.
