AI verdict CAUTION 60/100

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 20 MOT tests on record with a 80% pass rate and 40,708 miles. The vehicle's high insurance group and known model weaknesses further complicate the purchase.

The mileage trajectory shows consistent, normal usage averaging 6,526 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, indicating genuine low annual usage.

Things to check

  • Recurring suspension arm failures (Aug 2019, Jul 2025) and advisories (Aug 2024) indicate chronic wear.
  • Two major failures for suspension in 2019 and 2025, with 4 related advisories, point to a systemic issue.
  • High insurance group (44–47) means expensive premiums and increased risk for the buyer.
  • The 2001 Nissan Sentra PCM ground wire failure and 1996 Nissan Hardbody timing chain guides disintegrating are known model weaknesses.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
  • Valid MOT until 08/08/2026, providing peace of mind for the next two years.
  • Consistent, normal mileage of 6,526 miles/year, suggesting genuine low usage.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies in the MOT history.
