2013 Nissan Sentra 1.8L Petrol · GK62 ACO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 28 January 2025 at 82,223 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean tests dating back to early 2022, suggesting the car has been kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage accumulation is consistent with the age of the vehicle, averaging roughly 6,325 miles per year. A notable increase in usage occurred between 6 February 2023 and 23 January 2024, where the odometer rose from 59,949 to 72,340 miles. This period of higher activity did not result in any recorded mechanical degradation, as the vehicle passed its subsequent tests without new faults. The absence of advisories across multiple years is unusual for a thirteen year old car and implies a disciplined approach to preventative maintenance. There are no recorded failures regarding suspension bushes, brake discs, or structural corrosion, which are typical weak points for a vehicle of this vintage. The record shows a failure and immediate pass on 23 January 2024, though the lack of listed defects suggests a clerical error or a minor issue resolved instantly. A physical inspection should still focus on age-related perishables that MOT tests often overlook. Check for rubber degradation in the engine mounts and suspension components, as well as the condition of the brake fluid and coolant. While the DVSA record is clean, verifying the service history for oil changes and timing belt intervals is necessary to ensure the internal engine health matches the external roadworthiness.
