2012 Nissan Note 1.5L Diesel · BD62 JYP

The vehicle presently holds a valid MOT pass issued on 18 November 2025 at 49,436 miles, with no defects recorded. This follows a failure just three days earlier on 15 November 2025, when the offside front headlamp aim was too low, the headlamp levelling control could not be operated from the driver’s seat, and a nail was found embedded in the offside front tyre. The swift rectification of all three items and the subsequent clean pass indicate an improving trend, with no recurring mechanical or structural concerns across the most recent inspections. Mileage accumulation is exceptionally low for a vehicle of this age. Over roughly 14 years, the recorded mileage has risen from 12,384 miles in December 2015 to 49,436 miles in November 2025, averaging approximately 3,500 miles per year. The intervals between successive tests are consistent, typically falling between eleven and twelve months, suggesting regular use rather than long periods of standing. No abrupt mileage jumps or gaps appear in the record, and the majority of entries report no defects at all. Buyers should inspect the front lighting assembly and its levelling mechanism in person, given the recent headlamp-related advisories, to confirm correct aim and full electronic operation. Particular attention should be paid to the offside front tyre, where the November 2025 failure involved a nail puncture; check for residual damage to the sidewall or belt and verify even tread wear across the axle. As with any older city car of this mileage profile, a physical examination of the coil springs, suspension bushes, and brake discs is advisable to detect early signs of corrosion or fatigue that may not yet have surfaced during testing.
