2014 Nissan Note 1.5L Diesel · AF14 UTC

The 2014 Nissan Note presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 27 May 2025 at 49,987 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken five-year sequence of clean MOT outcomes from 2021 through 2025. The mileage pattern confirms very light use for a twelve-year-old vehicle. Recorded distance rose from 45,198 miles at the 29 May 2021 test to 49,987 miles by May 2025, a total of 4,789 miles across four years or roughly 1,200 miles per annum. The DVSA history shows no gaps and no rapid accumulation; each annual test carries a modest increment, with the largest single jump being 1,085 miles between June 2023 and June 2024. Such low yearly coverage suggests extended standing periods rather than continuous daily driving. A clean advisory sheet across all five tests means the tester never flagged worn suspension bushes, corroded structures, binding calipers, or failing emissions. That said, a car covering under 1,500 miles a year will sit idle for long stretches. Standing vehicles develop perished rubber components, flat-spotted tyres, and surface corrosion on brake discs and underbody seams that a pass certificate does not always capture. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of the exhaust system, subframe, and suspension arms for hidden rust, and confirm the brake discs are free of pitting after storage. Verify the age of the tyres and wiper blades, as these consumables degrade with time rather than mileage. The documented record implies a cautious owner who kept statutory tests current, but low mileage alone is no guarantee against age-related deterioration.
