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 16 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 16,724 miles. While it passed retests, the recurring advisories for brakes, tyres, and emissions, combined with the SORN status and lack of recent MOT, present significant concerns.

The vehicle shows very low annual usage averaging 2,361 miles/year, with a significant gap in MOT history between 2006 and 2019, suggesting potential periods of inactivity or unrecorded mileage.

Things to check

  • MOT failed on 2006-09-18 for offside front brake pad and nearside front tyre bulge.
  • Jan 2019 MOT advisory for front brake disc wear and pitted/scored discs is a recurring issue.
  • Jan 2019 MOT advisory for front brake pads wearing thin is a recurring issue.
  • Jan 2019 MOT advisory for both rear tyres slightly damaged/cracking is a recurring issue.

Working in its favour

  • Passed 16,724 miles MOT on 2006-09-18, indicating a basic pass.
  • No major recurring failures on safety-critical systems like steering or suspension.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) suggests good inherent safety features.
  • Very low mileage (2,361 mi/yr) may indicate a well-preserved vehicle from a reliability standpoint.
