2010 Nissan Serena 2.0L Petrol · NJ10 CAX

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-05-14 at 138,729 miles recorded a pass with no defects, suggesting a stable roadworthiness status. However, the prior test on 2025-04-17 at 138,628 miles resulted in a failure despite no defects being listed, raising questions about the test outcome. The 2024-04-13 MOT at 136,271 miles also passed without issues, indicating no immediate mechanical concerns in the preceding 24 months. The pattern shows no recurring faults, but the unexplained failure warrants scrutiny to confirm whether it was a procedural error or an overlooked issue. The vehicle’s mileage of 138,729 miles over 16 years equates to an average of 8,671 miles annually, aligning with typical usage for its age. The 2024-04-13 test at 136,271 miles and the 2025-04-17 test at 138,628 miles reveal a 2,357-mile increase over 12 months, consistent with regular use. The subsequent 101-mile jump to 138,729 miles by 2025-05-14 suggests minimal activity in the final month, possibly due to seasonal storage or reduced usage. The MOT history lacks significant gaps, but the absence of defect details in the 2025-04-17 failure limits analysis of potential underlying issues. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the braking system, as unexplained failures may hint at intermittent faults. Check for corrosion on underbody components, given the vehicle’s age, and assess suspension bushes for wear, which can degrade over time without immediate warning. The exhaust system and structural integrity should also be verified, as emissions-related issues or rust could impact roadworthiness. While the MOT record appears clean, the lack of defect details in the 2025-04-17 test necessitates a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm the vehicle’s mechanical soundness.
