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

This 2013 Nissan has 15 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 30,065 miles. The recent MOT pass in Nov 2025 still carries advisories for brake wear and subframe corrosion.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 9,851 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or implausible spikes, showing normal usage.

Things to check

  • Recurring suspension and steering failures across multiple tests (e.g., Nov 2022, Nov 2023, Nov 2024).
  • High insurance group (44-47) indicates expensive premiums and higher risk.
  • Recent Nov 2025 MOT pass carries advisories for brake wear and subframe corrosion.
  • Consistent pattern of wear on critical safety components (brakes, tyres, suspension) suggests ongoing maintenance needs.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 5 historical failures
  • Valid MOT until November 2026, offering immediate peace of mind.
  • Consistent mileage trajectory with no suspicious drops or spikes, indicating genuine usage.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the provided MOT history.
