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

This 2012 Infiniti has 17 MOT tests on record with a 71% pass rate and 30,727 miles. While mileage is consistent, the vehicle's history suggests significant ongoing maintenance needs.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 11,503 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, but shows a significant initial spike to 99,947 miles by Feb 2019.

Things to check

  • Recurring major failures in steering (Oct 2021, Oct 2022) and suspension (Oct 2021, Oct 2022) indicate chronic neglect.
  • Brake system advisories (Oct 2021, Oct 2022) and a major failure (Oct 2021) suggest a long-standing issue.
  • The 2015-03-04 MOT at 30,727 miles is unusually early for a 2012 registration, requiring clarification.
  • The 2017-02-24 MOT failure for windscreen washer and tyres, followed by a retest, shows a 'just passed' seller tactic.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2026-08-31, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • Consistent mileage trajectory with no suspicious drops or spikes, suggesting genuine usage.
  • All major failures and most advisories were promptly addressed and retested, showing responsive ownership.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies in the provided MOT history.
