2017 Nissan Note 1.2L Petrol · AK17 AAU

The 2017 Nissan Note with 44,591 miles shows a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent MOT on 2025-12-01 passing without defects. However, a failed test on 2025-11-25 at the same mileage raises questions, as no specific issues were recorded. This inconsistency suggests potential administrative errors or unreported minor faults, though the absence of defects in prior tests indicates the vehicle has generally met safety standards. The lack of recurring mechanical issues in the history implies consistent maintenance, but the failed test warrants further scrutiny. Mileage progression reveals a low annual average of 4,955 miles over nine years, with gradual increases from 38,493 in 2022 to 44,591 in 2025. This pattern suggests infrequent use, which could lead to component aging or corrosion despite the vehicle’s apparent mechanical soundness. The 2024-11-26 test at 42,722 miles and the 2023-12-04 test at 40,027 miles show no irregularities, reinforcing the impression of careful ownership. However, the prolonged periods between MOTs—particularly the 12-month gap between 2024 and 2025—may indicate reduced usage, which could affect fluid freshness and rubber component integrity. A buyer should inspect for signs of inactivity, such as dry-rotted tyres, stiff suspension bushes, or corrosion in underbody panels, which are common in low-mileage vehicles. While the MOT record lacks structural or brake-related defects, the absence of detailed failure notes in the 2025-11-25 test means critical issues might have been overlooked. Pay particular attention to brake discs, caliper binding, and exhaust emissions during a physical inspection, as these components can degrade without immediate visible symptoms. The vehicle’s maintenance history does not flag major risks, but its low usage profile necessitates a thorough check of non-MOT-reliant systems.
