2014 Nissan Note 1.2L Petrol · YS14 AEX

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following a successful MOT on 21 July 2026 at 35,485 miles. While the most recent test shows no defects, the vehicle failed just three miles prior due to an excessively worn offside front suspension arm bush. This follows a failure in March 2026 at 34,561 miles involving high exhaust carbon monoxide emissions and perishing front tyres. These recent failures indicate that while the car is currently compliant, it has recently required corrective maintenance to address both emissions and suspension components. The mileage pattern is notably low for a 2014 vehicle, averaging approximately 2,957 miles per year. The data shows consistent, low-intensity usage, with the odometer moving from 29,363 miles in July 2020 to 35,485 miles in July 2026. This infrequent use explains the recurring advisories and failures regarding tyre degradation. The March 2026 failure for cracking in the tread pattern on both front tyres is a direct consequence of the rubber perishing from age and lack of movement rather than heavy tread wear. A prospective buyer should focus on the condition of the rubber components and the exhaust system. The March 2026 failure for excessive carbon monoxide suggests a potential issue with engine combustion or the catalytic converter that required rectification. You should verify that the emissions levels remain within manufacturer limits. Because the vehicle spends long periods stationary, check all tyres for sidewall cracking and ensure the suspension bushes and ball joints show no signs of play or perished rubber. The suspension history shows a recent fault with the offside front arm bush, so a physical inspection of the front axle assembly is necessary to ensure the replacement was carried out correctly. While the record shows no structural corrosion or brake binding issues, the history of perishing tyres and wiper failures suggests a maintenance pattern focused on reactive repairs rather than proactive upkeep. Inspect the battery health and fluid levels, as these are common areas of concern for low-mileage vehicles that sit idle for extended periods.
