2016 Nissan Note 1.2L Petrol · BW66 AOC

The 2016 Nissan NOTE presents an exceptionally clean MOT record with no defects recorded across five consecutive annual tests, including the most recent pass on 20 November 2025 at 23,000 miles. This is a rare outcome. The maintenance trend is stable and consistently strong, suggesting the vehicle has been kept in good mechanical order with no emerging or recurring faults flagged by any tester over the past five years. The mileage profile is notably low for a vehicle approaching ten years of age. At roughly 2,300 miles per year, the accumulation rate sits well below the UK average. The annual increments between tests are steady and gradual, rising from 13,046 miles in November 2021 to 23,000 miles by November 2025, with each year adding between 2,000 and 3,000 miles. There are no unusual gaps or sudden spikes in the odometer readings that would suggest long periods of inactivity or tampering. The 2025 test was conducted approximately seven months ago, so a fresh MOT is not yet due, but the record remains current and relevant. Despite the clean paperwork, a prospective buyer should carry out a thorough physical inspection. Low-mileage vehicles that stand for extended periods can develop flat-spotted tyres, perished rubber brake hoses, and surface corrosion on brake discs and suspension components that an MOT test may not fully expose. Check the condition and date stamps of all four tyres, inspect the underside for corrosion on subframes and suspension mounting points, and verify that the brake system operates without drag or uneven wear. The exhaust system and its mountings should also be examined for corrosion, particularly if the car has been used primarily for short, low-speed journeys that prevent moisture from burning off. The absence of any advisories or failures across the full MOT history is a strong positive indicator, but it does not replace a hands-on mechanical inspection. A pre-purchase inspection by a qualified technician, combined with a test drive over varied road surfaces, remains the most reliable way to confirm that the vehicle's structural integrity and mechanical systems match the clean documentary record.
