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

This 2005 Nissan has 28 MOT tests on record with a 64% pass rate and 15,135 miles. The mileage is extremely low for its age, which, combined with the MOT record, presents significant unquantifiable risks.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual usage of approximately 4,431 miles per year, averaging 15,135 miles over 21 years, which is far below the UK average of 8,000 miles per year.

Things to check

  • Extensive MOT failure history: 6 failures across 14 tests, indicating persistent mechanical issues.
  • Recurring major failures: Lights (15 failures), Suspension (4 failures), and Emissions (2 failures) show systemic neglect.
  • Critical advisory escalation: Registration plate lamp (PRS 2018) escalated to MAJOR (2022), indicating poor maintenance.
  • Dangerous defect history: Multiple DANGEROUS-rated defects (e.g., wiper failures 2018, 2019) suggest safety-critical neglect.

Working in its favour

  • Current valid MOT: Vehicle has a valid MOT until 2026-08-05, indicating it is currently roadworthy.
  • No recent major failures: The most recent MOT (Jul 2025) passed without major failures, suggesting current compliance.
