2012 Nissan 2.0L Diesel · EU12 KVR

The latest MOT on 26 May 2022 recorded a pass at 133,720 mi, but the same day a failure was logged for a nearside rear stop lamp. This tells you the lamp was repaired before the test was completed, so the car is currently road‑legal but has a history of recurring light faults. A clear pattern emerges from the 2021 and 2020 tests: front brake discs and pads were flagged as worn and thin, front tyres were close to the legal limit, and an oil leak was noted. None of those items re‑appeared in the 2022 pass, which suggests they may have been addressed – but you should still verify the work was done properly. The mileage of 133,720 mi over 14 years works out to about 9,500 mi per year, which is broadly typical. It does not point to heavy abuse, but it also does not rule out periods of low use followed by harder driving. In short, the mileage signal is ambiguous and should be confirmed by service records. Overall the trend looks stable to slightly improving – the most serious brake and tyre warnings have not been repeated in the latest MOT, while the lamp issue persists. However, the repeat failure on the rear stop lamp indicates a potential electrical reliability concern that could re‑appear. When you inspect the car, start by checking that all lights (especially the rear stop lamps) work correctly.
