2011 Nissan Note 1.6L Petrol · YB61 ABU

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-06-30 at 24,519 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable roadworthiness status. However, the preceding test on 2025-06-24 at 24,517 miles resulted in a fail despite no defects being noted, suggesting an anomaly or procedural error. Subsequent tests from 2022 to 2024 show consistent passes with no defects, confirming a stable maintenance trend over the past four years. The lack of recorded issues in recent tests implies the vehicle has been well-maintained, though the short interval between the last two MOTs raises questions about the reliability of the fail result. The vehicle’s mileage of 24,519 miles over 15 years equates to approximately 1,635 miles annually, significantly lower than average for its age. This suggests minimal usage or prolonged periods of inactivity, which can accelerate component degradation through corrosion or fluid stagnation. The MOT records show no gaps in testing, with annual intervals between 2022 and 2025, but the final test in 2025-06-30 remains unreviewed for over a year, leaving the current condition unverified. The steady mileage progression from 22,451 miles in 2022 to 24,519 miles in 2025 indicates consistent operation without sudden wear. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the underbody for corrosion, particularly in areas prone to moisture ingress, given the low mileage and potential inactivity. Suspension components, including bushes and coil springs, should be checked for stiffness or wear, as prolonged storage can affect their integrity. Brake systems, including calipers and discs, require scrutiny for binding or uneven wear, as low-mileage vehicles may develop issues from infrequent use. The absence of recorded defects in MOTs does not eliminate these risks, as some faults may not trigger immediate failure. A pre-purchase inspection should confirm the vehicle’s mechanical and structural soundness beyond the MOT data.
