2014 Nissan Note 1.2L Petrol · BT14 FCP

The vehicle presents a generally stable roadworthiness profile, though the MOT history indicates a developing trend regarding front-end suspension wear. The most recent test on 27 April 2026 at 61,155 miles resulted in a pass, but the tester flagged a worn offside front suspension arm pin or bush. This follows a similar advisory from the 30 April 2025 test at 55,234 miles, which noted slight play in the offside front anti-roll bar linkage pin or bush. While these issues did not result in immediate failure, the recurrence of bushing wear suggests that the rubber components in the front suspension assembly are beginning to degrade. The mileage accumulation is notably low for a 2014 model, averaging approximately 5,096 miles per year. The data shows consistent annual usage, with the odometer increasing by roughly 6,000 miles between the 2025 and 2026 tests. This low-mileage pattern often implies less wear on the drivetrain and engine, but it can sometimes lead to the perishing of rubber components due to age rather than mechanical stress. The 7 May 2024 failure at 49,536 miles, which cited a structural bulge and cracking on the nearside front tyre, confirms that the vehicle has experienced some age-related tyre degradation despite the low mileage. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension geometry and the condition of all rubber bushings. Given the consecutive advisories for the offside front suspension arm and anti-roll bar linkage, a thorough check for excessive play or creaking noises during low-speed manoeuvres is necessary. It would also be prudent to inspect the tyres for similar age-related cracking or sidewall damage to ensure the low mileage has not resulted in perished rubber. Aside from these specific suspension and tyre observations, the record shows a clean history with no reported issues regarding brakes, emissions, or structural integrity.
