2005 Nissan Primastar 1.9L Diesel · CX05 VUP

The most recent MOT test on 31 October 2022 returned a pass at 79,817 miles with no defects recorded, indicating the vehicle presented as roadworthy at that time. The available history is sparse but clean at the latest entry, showing a stable maintenance trend with no advisories or mechanical faults logged across the supplied records. The mileage pattern is anomalous and demands scrutiny. The 17 November 2021 test logged a failure and a pass on the same day at 235,677 miles, yet the following test on 31 October 2022 shows the odometer at only 79,817 miles. That is a reversal of 155,860 miles, which points to a probable recording error, a replacement cluster, or a clerical mistake at the testing station rather than genuine use. Against a 21-year lifespan the 79,817 figure implies light annual use of roughly 3,800 miles, though the 2021 entry suggests far heavier running previously. A buyer should physically verify the true mileage through service invoices, V5C documentation, and wear on pedals, seats, and tyres before purchase. The records flag no suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or structural corrosion, so no recurring fault trend exists to chase. Given the identical-day fail and pass with no defects noted in November 2021, confirm the failure cause with the DVSA dataset or test station. Inspect underneath for exhaust rust and check tyre age, as long standing periods at low mileage can crack sidewalls despite legal tread.
