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

This 2005 Nissan has 24 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 36,338 miles. The significant mileage discrepancy and unexplained service gaps require thorough investigation.

The vehicle shows a critical mileage anomaly: 139,561 miles in March 2019, then only 2,351 miles by November 2020, followed by a sharp increase to 158,989 miles by December 2022, indicating a possible odometer fraud or a major change in usage.

Things to check

  • Recurring suspension arm ball joint failures (Mar 2019, Nov 2020, Jan 2024) and advisories (Dec 2020, Jan 2024) indicate chronic neglect.
  • Recurring brake hose issues (Nov 2020, Jan 2024) and parking brake efficiency failures (May 2008, May 2019) point to systemic brake system problems.
  • A 21-year-old vehicle with only 36,338 miles recorded in 2008, then a 15-year gap to 2019, is highly suspicious and suggests potential odometer fraud.
  • The vehicle has been off-road for extended periods (2023, 2025 MOT gaps), which can lead to accelerated component wear and safety issues.

Working in its favour

  • The vehicle has a valid MOT until February 2027, indicating it currently meets basic roadworthiness standards.
  • No evidence of outstanding finance (HPI check needed) or write-off markers is present in the provided data.
  • The car has a consistent annual mileage of approximately 7,975 miles since 2019, suggesting regular but light use.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a strong safety record for its age.
