2008 Nissan Kubistar 1.5L Diesel · SH08 UGZ

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2024-11-06 at 115,070 miles recorded no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend over the past three years. Previous tests from 2023-11-13 (110,357 miles) and 2022-09-08 (102,722 miles) also passed without issues, suggesting consistent adherence to roadworthiness standards. However, the gap between the last test in 2024 and the current date of 2026-07-09 exceeds the one-year MOT validity period, raising concerns about unverified compliance. No recurring mechanical faults or structural issues were flagged in the record, but the absence of recent inspection data limits confidence in its current condition. The vehicle’s mileage of 115,070 miles aligns with an average of 6,393 annual miles over 18 years, reflecting typical usage for its age. A notable increase occurred between 2021-09-03 (97,022 miles) and 2022-09-08 (102,722 miles), a 5,700-mile rise in 12 months, followed by a 7,635-mile jump to 110,357 miles by 2023-11-13. These figures suggest steady usage without significant gaps, though the 2022-09-07 failure at the same mileage as the subsequent pass on 2022-09-08 remains unexplained. The MOT history lacks defects, but the sparse data from 2021 to 2024 offers limited insight into long-term wear patterns. A buyer should prioritize an independent inspection of the suspension system, particularly suspension bushes and coil springs, given the vehicle’s age and mileage. Brake components, including calipers and discs, should also be checked for corrosion or uneven wear, as these are common in older vehicles. The absence of exhaust emissions or structural integrity issues in the MOT records is reassuring, but the lack of recent testing means critical faults could have emerged since 2024. Confirming the vehicle’s service history and verifying the 2022-09-07 failure’s resolution with the DVSA would further mitigate risks.
