2013 Nissan Note 1.6L Petrol · BD13 LKA

The most recent MOT test on 2025-07-08 confirms this Nissan Note remains roadworthy at 69,653 miles, with no defects or advisories recorded. The consistent pass status across all tests—including the duplicate entry for July 2023—suggests a stable maintenance history, though the lack of advisories or defects does not preclude hidden wear. The vehicle has not failed a single MOT since 2022, and the most recent test was conducted just over a year ago, which is acceptable but not ideal for a vehicle of this age. The absence of recurring faults in the record implies either diligent upkeep or deferred maintenance that has yet to manifest in testable failures. The recorded mileage of 69,653 miles over approximately 13 years equates to an average of around 5,358 miles annually, which is unusually low for a vehicle of this age. There is a notable gap between the 2022 and 2023 tests, where the mileage jumped from 50,805 to 56,409—a 5,594-mile increase in just under a year—before stabilising again. This suggests periods of either limited use or extended storage, which could accelerate degradation of suspension bushes, coil springs, and rubber components if the vehicle was left stationary for prolonged periods. The lack of advisories on corrosion or structural integrity in recent tests does not rule out hidden rust in wheel arches, sills, or subframes, particularly given the vehicle’s age. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of suspension components, including the condition of rear coil springs and bushes, as these are common wear items that may not always trigger MOT failures until they are severely degraded. The brakes, while not flagged in tests, should be checked for uneven wear or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle has experienced uneven mileage accumulation. Tyre tread depth and lateral wear patterns warrant close examination, as the absence of MOT failures on this front could indicate either recent replacements or inconsistent maintenance. Structural integrity, particularly in the wheel arches and sills, should be visually inspected for corrosion, as rust can compromise the vehicle’s safety without immediately affecting MOT passability.
