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 17 MOT tests on record with a 71% pass rate and 20,369 miles. While mileage is low, the high insurance group and multiple past failures warrant careful consideration.

The vehicle exhibits very low annual mileage averaging 5,863 miles per year, with a notable 2024 service gap, but no suspicious drops or inconsistencies.

Things to check

  • Recurring brake failures and advisories across multiple tests (Dec 2020, Dec 2021, Dec 2023).
  • Recurring suspension advisories (wiper, wishbone bushes, shock absorbers) in 2015, 2016, 2018, 2022, 2023.
  • Dangerous tyre defect recorded in Dec 2019 (worn close to legal limit).
  • High insurance group (44–47) indicates expensive premiums.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
  • Most recent MOT passed despite 5 historical failures
  • Valid MOT until January 2027, offering immediate peace of mind.
  • Consistent, low annual mileage (5,863 miles/year) suggests light use.
