2014 Nissan Note 1.2L Petrol · BN14 LFJ

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-04-29 at 43,241 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend. However, the same date shows a failed test with no defects noted, suggesting potential administrative inconsistencies or unrecorded issues. Previous tests from 2024-04-26 (37,834 miles) and 2023-03-31 (31,360 miles) both passed without defects, implying no significant mechanical failures in the prior 12 months. The absence of recurring faults or advisories in the record suggests the car has been maintained to meet legal standards, though the lack of detailed defect reporting limits deeper analysis. The vehicle’s mileage of 43,241 miles at 12 years old equates to approximately 3,603 miles annually, well below average for its age. This low usage could indicate infrequent driving or prolonged periods of inactivity, which may affect components like the battery, tyres, and fluid systems. The MOT history shows no rapid mileage spikes, with intervals of 11 months between 2023 and 2024 tests and 12 months between 2024 and 2025. However, the 2025 test’s dual pass/fail entries at the same mileage and date raise questions about the accuracy of the records, warranting further verification. A buyer should inspect the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for wear, as low mileage can mask hidden deterioration from inactivity. The absence of corrosion or structural issues in the MOT data is positive, but the lack of detailed reporting means visual checks for rust, particularly under the chassis, are critical. Additionally, the brake system and exhaust emissions should be tested, as these are common areas for failure in older vehicles. The vehicle’s compliance with legal standards is confirmed, but its long-term reliability depends on addressing potential dormant issues from low usage.
