2012 Nissan Note 1.5L Diesel · CV62 UAL

The Nissan Note presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 12 May 2025 at 84,263 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The May 2025 pass came only four days after a failure on 8 May 2025 at 84,261 miles, yet the DVSA record lists no defects for either the fail or the pass. An identical pattern occurred on 22 May 2023, when the car failed at 71,493 miles and passed the same day at 71,495 miles with no defects logged. These administrative fails with zero recorded faults suggest clerical or presentation issues at the testing station rather than genuine mechanical defects. The odometer shows 84,263 miles against a 2012 build, averaging roughly 6,019 miles per year, which is typical for the age. Annual use stayed light between 2023 and 2024, rising just 3,339 miles to 74,834 miles by 6 June 2024. A larger jump of 9,429 miles followed in the eleven months to the May 2025 test. The record is sparse, with no advisories or defects ever noted across any entry, so the data gives no evidence of neglected consumables or deferred repairs. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the clean ledger. The repeated same-day fail-and-pass cycles with no defects recorded mean the MOT file offers no insight into suspension bushes, coil springs, brake disc wear, or structural corrosion. Given the vehicle is fourteen years old, front subframe rust, rear axle corrosion, and perishing rubber components remain plausible even where the tester logged nothing. Verify the V5C and seek the garage that conducted the May 2025 tests to confirm why the fail was raised with no fault cited. Check tyre tread depth, wiper condition, and exhaust emissions in person, as these consumables are absent from the official history yet dictate everyday roadworthiness on an ageing supermini.
