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

This 2002 Nissan has 13 MOT tests on record with a 85% pass rate and 15,890 miles. The extremely low mileage for its age, combined with a 2016 service gap and a 2018 MOT expiry, raises significant red flags.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual mileage of 3,894 miles/year, averaging only 15,890 miles over 24 years, which is a major concern for a 2002 car.

Things to check

  • Mileage is extremely low at 15,890 miles over 24 years, indicating minimal use.
  • Recurring major failures on lights (5 times) and tyres (3 times) across multiple tests.
  • Major exhaust leak failure on 2018-04-19, with no subsequent retest PASS.
  • Not valid MOT since 2018-04-19, with no current roadworthiness certification.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 2 historical failures
  • No recurring failures on critical safety systems like brakes or suspension.
  • The 2017-04-19 retest PASS after exhaust failure is a positive sign of repair.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a generally safe vehicle.
