2020 NISSAN ROGUE S VIN 5N1AT2MT1LC787907

This Nissan Rogue S was built in 2020. Power reaches the wheels through an automatic gearbox. The car runs on petrol. The specification is taken from the source data.

The record gives the mileage as 72,877 miles. Miles and kilometres are easy to confuse, and a distance in miles looks lower than the same distance in kilometres. Turning back an odometer takes little skill and leaves no visible trace, which is why earlier figures matter more than the display. Figures carry most weight when they come from independent sources: workshops, inspection stations and past title paperwork.

This Nissan Rogue S is recorded with rear-end damage. A damage type says what kind of damage the car had, not how serious it was or whether it has been repaired since. Some damage shows its consequences only later: corroded connectors and electrical faults can surface months afterwards.

A ‘runs and drives’ note means the car moved under its own power when it was checked. A key was there when the car was checked. Months of standing can leave a car with seized brakes and perished tyres.

Behind every used car lies a string of events: who owned it and for how long, what the inspections found and which repairs and claims were made. No single office holds the whole story of a car: registries, workshops, insurance companies and lenders each keep their own part. A clean, polished car can still hide a serious accident, a flood or years of hard use.

A petrol engine in good order starts cleanly, idles evenly and pulls without hesitation. Automatic transmissions, CVTs included, are expensive to repair, so the test drive should include pulling away from a standstill and a stretch at motorway speed.

Every modern car carries a 17-character VIN, and no two cars share one. This Nissan Rogue S has the VIN 5N1AT2MT1LC787907. The number in the car’s documents should match the one stamped into the body and the one on the plate at the base of the windscreen.

A VIN report gathers what different sources know about a car, such as the number of owners, mileage readings, damage and any branded title. No report is complete: a repair done privately and never claimed on insurance leaves nothing to find. However complete the paperwork, only an inspection shows the condition of the body, suspension, brakes and electrics today. With this 2020 Nissan Rogue S, the first step is a look at the history behind VIN 5N1AT2MT1LC787907.
