2016 Nissan Note 1.5L Diesel · CU16 HXC

The 2016 Nissan Note presents as roadworthy following a clean pass on 9 March 2026 at 118,266 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The most recent test showed no defects, and the prior failure on 6 March 2026 at 118,237 miles carried no recorded defects, indicating an administrative or documentation issue rather than a mechanical fault. Earlier tests follow the same pattern of zero advisories. Mileage sits at 118,266 against a ten-year lifespan, equating to roughly 11,800 miles per year and reflecting typical use for the age. The record shows 109,635 miles on 10 February 2024, rising to 116,636 by 12 February 2025 and 118,266 by March 2026, a steady annual accumulation near 7,000 to 9,000 miles with no abrupt jumps or long dormant periods. The DVSA data is sparse on detail, listing only pass and defect-free fail entries with no advisories on tyres, suspension bushes, brake discs, or corrosion across any test. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the absence of any recorded advisories over the vehicle's life, as testers may have omitted minor wear. The repeated defect-free failures on 12 February 2025 and 6 March 2026 at near-identical mileages suggest the previous owner addressed paperwork promptly but the record offers no evidence of consumable renewal such as wiper blades or coil springs. Verify the V5C and test certificate to confirm the nil-defect failures were clerical, not concealed mechanical rejects. Given the clean run since the February 2024 pass, no recurring mechanical trend emerges that points to worsening suspension or binding calipers. The buyer should nonetheless check exhaust emissions and drivetrain condition in person, as the MOT history alone provides no deep diagnostic coverage beyond the stated outcomes.
