2012 Nissan Note 1.4L Petrol · AF62 WYA

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status with a clean pass record on its most recent inspection. The latest MOT conducted on 8 May 2025 at 58,040 miles resulted in a pass with no defects, indicating the car currently meets minimum safety and emissions standards. This follows a pattern where the vehicle failed the initial test but passed immediately upon re-test, suggesting the owner is proactive in rectifying issues identified by the DVSA tester. The mileage profile is notably low for a fourteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,146 miles per year. Between May 2023 at 54,451 miles and May 2025 at 58,040 miles, the car covered only 3,589 miles over two years. This suggests short-distance commuting or extended periods of inactivity. While this reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, low mileage often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components and fluid breakdown due to lack of thermal cycling. Despite the clean recent history, a buyer must perform a physical inspection of components susceptible to age rather than just mileage. Focus the evaluation on the suspension system, specifically checking for perished or perished rubber bushes, and the coil springs which can become brittle on older Nissans. Given the low usage, inspect the brake system for seized calipers or corrosion on the discs, which frequently occurs when vehicles sit stationary. A thorough under check of the chassis and sills is also necessary to ensure that low mileage has not masked underlying structural rust or surface corrosion.
