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

This 2008 Nissan has 17 MOT tests on record with a 71% pass rate and 18,210 miles. The significant mileage discrepancy and high annual usage for its age warrant careful consideration.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual mileage (2,879 miles in 2019) after 11 years of high usage (12,472 miles/year), indicating a significant change in driving patterns or potential data anomalies.

Things to check

  • Recurring suspension arm ball joint failures (Nov 2018 advisory, Nov 2019 major failure).
  • Recurring lighting failures (Jul 2012 advisory, Jul 2012 major failure).
  • Significant mileage discrepancy: 2,879 miles in 2019 after 12,472 miles/year average.
  • MOT expired 2022-11-11; current status is 'Not valid' with no recent test.

Working in its favour

  • Recent clean MOT pass on 2021-11-11 with no advisories.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or tampering in the provided MOT history.
  • Consistent retesting and immediate rectification of failures and advisories.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates good structural integrity.
