Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The Nissan Note passed its most recent MOT on 24 February 2026 at 126,854 miles with no defects recorded, indicating the vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status. The maintenance trend appears stable, with the only blemishes being two administrative failures in early 2026 and late 2023 that listed no defects, suggesting the car was presented for test prematurely or with paperwork issues rather than mechanical faults. Recorded mileage sits at 126,854 against a 2012 build, averaging roughly 9,061 miles per year which is typical for the age. The gap between the 7 November 2024 pass at 122,470 miles and the 27 October 2023 pass at 117,686 miles shows about 4,784 miles covered in that period. A short 17-day gap separates the October 2023 fail and pass at near-identical mileages of 117,629 and 117,686. The January 2026 fail at 126,826 preceded the February 2026 pass at 126,854, again with no defects logged. The history is sparse and clean, with no advisories or worn consumables ever flagged. Given the absence of recorded defects across five tests, the DVSA data reveals no recurring suspension, brake, or corrosion problems requiring concern from the record alone. The two zero-defect failures imply the previous owner may have misbooked tests or presented the car without valid documentation rather than neglecting upkeep. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity, coil springs, brake discs, and exhaust emissions, as MOT passes with no advisories do not capture emerging wear between tests. The low annual mileage and clean test sheet suggest light use and reasonable care from the prior keeper. No pattern of skipped consumable replacement or serious mechanical risk is evident in the official record. Verify service history independently to confirm engine and drivetrain maintenance matches the odometer.
