2015 Nissan Note 1.5L Diesel · SH65 AAE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a clean MOT pass on 15 June 2026 at 118,790 miles. The maintenance trend shows an improving pattern after addressing a significant failure just one week prior. At 118,733 miles, the tester flagged both the front suspension arm ball joints as being excessively worn. The fact that the owner rectified these critical safety components immediately suggests a proactive approach to mechanical repairs once faults are identified. The mileage accumulation is consistent with an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,800 miles per year. Between the May 2024 and May 2025 tests, the car covered 7,917 miles, while the more recent interval between May 2025 and June 2026 saw a higher rate of use at 7,862 miles. This steady usage pattern indicates the car is used regularly rather than left to sit, which explains the progressive wear seen on rubber suspension components and steering seals. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the power steering system, as records show seepage was noted in May 2024 at 102,569 miles. While this did not cause a failure, persistent seepage often leads to pump failure or steering rack leaks if not monitored closely over time. Additionally, although the ball joints were recently replaced, one should check the remaining life on the front tyres, as the 2024 record indicated they were worn to the legal limit and showing uneven edge wear, which points to potential alignment issues.
