2015 Nissan Note 1.2L Petrol · CU15 RYR

The 2015 Nissan Note has maintained a clean MOT history with no defects recorded across all five tests, most recently passing on 15 December 2025 at 42,988 miles. This consistency suggests the vehicle has been subject to either diligent maintenance or minimal use, as no advisories or failures have been logged. The most recent test confirms the car remains roadworthy under current DVSA standards, though the absence of any recorded issues does not preclude wear beyond MOT scope—such as suspension bush deterioration, minor corrosion, or gradual brake pad wear. The mileage progression indicates unusually low annual usage, averaging just 3,908 miles over the past decade. Between the 2022 and 2023 tests, the vehicle sat idle for nearly a year with no mileage accumulation, rising only by 9,424 miles over the following two years. This pattern could imply storage periods or infrequent driving, which may accelerate certain forms of degradation, such as tyre degradation or suspension fluid breakdown. The lack of rapid mileage spikes also means high-wear components like brake discs and pads may have been less stressed than average. Given the clean MOT record, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of suspension components—particularly the rear coil springs and bushes—due to the car’s age and low mileage, which can exacerbate stiffness or corrosion. Tyres, despite no MOT failures, should be checked for uneven wear or cracking, as prolonged storage may have contributed to degradation. The brakes, though never flagged, warrant verification of pad thickness and disc warping, especially if the vehicle has been driven sporadically. Finally, a thorough underbody inspection for corrosion, particularly around the wheel arches and sills, is advisable, as rust can develop silently even with minimal use.
