Expert AI · Mechanic's Insight
This vehicle is currently roadworthy and shows a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 9 July 2025 at 110,628 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This clean bill of health follows a pattern of passing tests without any listed advisories, suggesting the car is being maintained to a standard that meets minimum legal requirements. The mileage is consistent with the vehicle's age. It covered 4,751 miles between the June 2023 test at 98,222 miles and the July 2024 test at 105,877 miles. A further 4,751 miles were added by the July 2025 test. This steady accumulation indicates regular use rather than periods of prolonged standing, which typically helps prevent seals from perishing and brake calipers from seizing. The record shows two instances where the vehicle failed immediately before passing, specifically on 8 July 2024 and 4 July 2025. While the DVSA record does not list the specific defects for these failures, the rapid turnaround to a pass suggests the owner addressed the issues promptly. The absence of any recorded advisories over the last three years is unusual for a fourteen year old vehicle and implies a proactive approach to replacing worn components. A buyer should still conduct a physical inspection of the underbody for corrosion, as MOT testers often overlook minor structural rust that does not yet constitute a failure. Check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these are common wear points for the Nissan Note at this mileage. Verify the depth of the tyre treads and the condition of the brake discs to ensure consumables have not been neglected despite the clean MOT history.
