2013 Nissan Note 1.5L Diesel · K50 EBN

This Nissan Note has maintained a consistently clean MOT history since its last failure in March 2024, with the most recent test on 15 March 2026 passing without any recorded defects. The absence of advisories or recurring issues across five consecutive tests suggests the vehicle has not experienced persistent mechanical or structural problems. However, the failure in March 2024—despite no defects being logged—indicates a minor administrative or procedural anomaly rather than a mechanical trend. The vehicle’s roadworthiness status remains stable, though the extended gap between tests (just over a year since the last pass) means some components may now be nearing their typical service intervals. The recorded mileage of 91,672 miles over approximately 13 years reflects a moderate usage pattern, averaging around 7,050 miles annually. There are no significant gaps or spikes in mileage between tests, though the lack of intermediate service records means wear on high-usage items like suspension bushes, brake pads, and timing belt components cannot be confirmed. The most recent test occurred just five months ago, which is within the standard 12-month MOT cycle, but the absence of any advisories in prior tests does not guarantee current condition—some elements, such as coil springs or exhaust mounts, may have deteriorated since the last inspection. A buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of the suspension, particularly the rear bushes and coil springs, given the vehicle’s age and mileage. The brakes, while not flagged in tests, should be checked for uneven wear or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle has been driven in mixed conditions. Corrosion around wheel arches, sills, and the subframe is also worth examining, as this is a common failure point for vehicles of this age. The engine bay should be inspected for leaks or excessive oil consumption, while the exhaust system’s integrity—particularly at joints and hangers—should be verified to rule out any unrecorded failures. The absence of MOT advisories does not preclude these areas from requiring attention.
