This 2012 Nissan has 13 MOT tests on record with a 85% pass rate and 3,716 miles. The extremely low annual mileage (3,333 miles/yr) also raises concerns about its long-term health and maintenance.
The vehicle shows extremely low annual mileage, averaging only 3,333 miles per year, with a significant spike in usage (9,583 miles) between Aug 2023 and Jul 2024, and another spike (7,089 miles) between Jul 2024 and Jul 2025.
Things to check
- AUTO-FLAGGED: DANGEROUS defect (Jul 2024): Front Brake pad(s) less than 1.5 mm thick (1.1.13 (a) (ii))
- DANGEROUS defect recorded on 2024-07-31 for 'Offside Rear Wheel bearing rough when rotated (5.1.3 (b) (i))' — this is a serious safety concern.
- Recurring suspension arm advisories on 2018-09-26 and 2018-09-26 indicate a chronic wear issue.
- Extremely low annual mileage (3,333 miles/yr) suggests long periods of inactivity, potentially harming mechanical components.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 2 historical failures
- Valid MOT until 2026-08-02, providing immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
- No mileage anomalies or fraud detected in the provided MOT history.
- The 2017 Euro NCAP rating of 5/5 stars indicates a strong safety record for this model.
