2012 Nissan Note 1.4L Petrol · GV12 AEP

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passing tests. The most recent inspection conducted on 22 July 2025 at 70,043 miles returned no defects or advisories, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum safety standards. While a failure was recorded briefly in July 2024 at 66,867 miles, the immediate re-pass two miles later suggests a specific issue was addressed promptly without indicating a chronic mechanical decline. The mileage pattern is notably low for a fourteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,000 miles per year. Data shows a steady progression of use, moving from 58,988 miles in August 2022 to 63,112 miles in 2023, and finally reaching 70,043 miles by the latest test. This low usage often implies less wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though long periods of standing can occasionally lead to the degradation of rubber-based components or surface corrosion on brake surfaces. Given the clean nature of the most recent records, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on signs of age associated with low-mileage cars. Check for perished suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls, which can become brittle over time regardless of distance driven. Inspect the brake discs for heavy pitting or uneven wear, as infrequent use often leaves rotors to suffer from surface surface rust. Additionally, verify the structural integrity of the underbody and rear-side sills to ensure that the low mileage has not masked hidden corrosion issues that the MOT tester might have overlooked in previous years.
