NISSAN NOTE2016 · 1.2L Petrol

The 2016 Nissan Note demonstrates a fully roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trajectory, confirmed by the latest DVSA examination on 24 June 2025 at 51,533 miles which recorded a pass and no defects. Earlier tests followed the same pattern: on 15 June 2021 at 38,702 miles, 8 June 2022 at 41,881 miles, 27 June 2023 at 46,334 miles, and 13 June 2024 at 48,893 miles all returned passes with zero advisories. This unbroken sequence indicates consistent compliance with statutory safety and emissions standards. Odometer readings reveal a low-use pattern for a ten-year-old hatchback. The record shows 38,702 miles in mid-June 2021, rising to 48,893 miles by 13 June 2024 and 51,533 miles by 24 June 2025. Annual increments averaged roughly 3,200 miles between those dates, well below typical private car averages. No testing gaps exist; the keeper presented the car each June without lapse. Such restrained mileage coupled with clean sheets suggests careful, perhaps infrequent, operation and diligent MOT adherence by previous owners. Despite the absent advisories, a buyer should still commission a physical inspection of wear-prone items that MOT tests may not flag when within limits. Examine suspension bushes and coil springs for age-related cracking, and inspect brake discs and calipers for corrosion after likely periods of standing. Verify exhaust emissions hardware and underbody structural integrity for rust, particularly around sills and subframes. The low mileage does not exempt rubber components from degradation. Request documented service history to corroborate the MOT cleanliness. The tester recorded no binding calipers or tyre tread concerns, yet tyres and wiper blades remain consumable items needing visual check. A pre-purchase appraisal by a qualified mechanic remains prudent given the vehicle's age.
