2016 Nissan Note 1.2L Petrol · M66 KDR

The vehicle holds a valid, unblemished DVSA test record, with the most recent pass on 4 September 2025 at 66,183 miles showing no defects or advisories. This continues a stable, five-test sequence of clean results stretching back to January 2022. There is no evidence of component failures, structural concerns, or recurring mechanical issues, which points to consistent maintenance and honest presentation at each test. The recorded mileage pattern is entirely consistent with typical annual use. Between the January 2022 test at 40,134 miles and the January 2023 test at 46,518 miles, the car covered 6,384 miles. A similar interval followed, adding 7,760 miles by the January 2024 test at 54,278 miles. The shorter interval to September 2024 saw 5,342 miles, and the final period to September 2025 added 6,563 miles. That averages roughly 6,600 miles per year, which is ordinary for a small petrol-family hatchback, and it indicates steady use rather than long periods of standing or punishing motorway workloads. With no specific advisories on file, the history itself raises no red flags for suspension bushes, brake binding, or corrosion. That said, the car is now ten years old, and the absence of test comments does not guarantee the underlying condition of wear-prone components. A pre-purchase inspection should focus on the rear axle and front suspension for tired bushes or cracked coil springs, along with a check of brake disc condition and caliper slide pins for signs of sticking. Structural rust is less common on a Nissan Note of this era, but a visual check of the sills, floor pan, and suspension mounting points remains worthwhile. This is a straightforward, well-maintained example on paper. The clean MOT record and moderate annual mileage align well with the car's age. A buyer should still verify service history for fluid and filter changes, and confirm that the next test is not imminent, but nothing in the DVSA data suggests an underlying mechanical or structural problem.
