This 2003 Nissan has 9 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 41,343 miles. The vehicle is currently untaxed and has no valid MOT, requiring immediate and costly rectification.

Things to check

  • Recurring headlamp failures (Dec 2007, Dec 2011) indicate a persistent electrical or structural issue.
  • Multiple tyre advisories (Dec 2007, Dec 2009) suggest a history of poor maintenance or alignment problems.
  • The vehicle is currently untaxed and has no valid MOT, requiring immediate and costly rectification.
  • The 23-year-old vehicle will likely have significant accumulated wear and tear on major components.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 3 historical failures
  • Consistent, normal annual mileage (9,241 miles/yr) for its age.
  • No major structural failures or recurring dangerous defects recorded in MOT history.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a generally safe vehicle.
