This 2008 Nissan has 20 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 28,696 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the pattern of recurring issues and low recent usage warrants a thorough investigation.
The vehicle shows a significant drop in annual mileage from 2019 (93,760 mi) to 2025 (108,778 mi), averaging only 2,500 miles per year since 2021, which is unusually low for its age.
Things to check
- Recurring DANGEROUS brake failures (Apr 2019, Aug 2020) and suspension failures (Oct 2022, Oct 2023).
- Consistent advisories for worn tyres and steering components across multiple MOT tests.
- Recent annual mileage has dropped significantly from 2019 to 2025, averaging only 2,500 miles/year.
- High insurance group (44–47) indicates higher running costs and insurance premiums.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2026-10-23, indicating current roadworthiness.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the provided MOT history.
- Consistent retesting and immediate rectification of failures, showing responsive ownership.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) suggests good inherent safety features.
