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

This 2012 Nissan has 20 MOT tests on record with a 65% pass rate and 21,258 miles. The vehicle's extremely low mileage for its age, combined with a high insurance group, makes it a high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows suspiciously low mileage of 21,258 miles over 14 years, with a significant drop in annual usage from 2015 onwards.

Things to check

  • MOT history shows 6 failures and 19 advisories, indicating persistent mechanical issues.
  • Recurring suspension and steering failures (e.g., track rod, ball joint) are a major concern.
  • The 2015-02-17 MOT failure for 'Front Brake pad(s) less than 1.5 mm thick' is a critical safety concern.
  • The extremely low mileage (21,258 miles in 14 years) for a 2012 vehicle is highly unusual and warrants investigation.

Working in its favour

  • The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT until March 2027, indicating it is roadworthy for now.
  • No evidence of outstanding finance (HPI check needed) is present in the provided data.
  • The 2017 Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars suggests a generally safe design for its era.
  • The recurring minor failures (e.g., wipers, washer) were immediately rectified, showing responsive ownership.
