2014 Nissan Note 1.5L Diesel · BD14 RFO

The vehicle's MOT history shows an inconsistent pattern of compliance, though the most recent test on 5 December 2025 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a failure on 4 December 2025, suggesting a recurring issue that required rectification immediately prior to the successful retest. The trend appears to be fluctuating rather than showing a steady progression toward stability, as evidenced by the failure recorded on 6 December 2023, which also required a subsequent pass. The recorded mileage of 148,165 miles indicates a high level of usage for a 2014 model, averaging approximately 12,347 miles per year. While the MOT records provide annual snapshots, the high cumulative mileage increases the likelihood of wear on mechanical components such as suspension bushes, coil springs, and braking systems. The data shows consistent annual testing, but the lack of specific defect descriptions in the failure entries makes it difficult to track the exact nature of the mechanical issues addressed in 2023 and 2025. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the underside to check for structural corrosion and exhaust degradation, which are common on vehicles of this age and mileage. Given the previous failures, particular attention should be paid to the braking system, specifically checking for binding calipers or worn discs, and the suspension components for play or damage. Since the failures occurred without listed defects in this summary, verifying the recent replacement of consumables like tyres and brake pads is advisable to ensure the vehicle's current state matches the clean 2025 pass.
