2012 Nissan Note 1.4L Petrol · CV62 YLA

The 2012 Nissan Note presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent test on 14 October 2025 at 109,508 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Prior annual tests in October 2024 and October 2023 also closed with passes and no advisories, indicating no escalating mechanical concerns across the observed period. The owner has kept the vehicle to a consistent test schedule with clean results in the final three years. Mileage has accumulated at a typical rate for a 14-year-old car, averaging roughly 7,822 miles per year against the 109,508 miles recorded. The gap between the 18 October 2023 test at 96,085 miles and the 15 October 2024 test at 102,799 miles shows 6,714 miles covered, then 6,709 miles to the 14 October 2025 test at 109,508 miles, a remarkably even annual spread with no rapid accumulation or long-standing gaps. The DVSA record is sparse on fault data, listing only clean passes and two same-day failures in 2023 and 2024 with no defects cited, which suggests administrative or presentation anomalies rather than mechanical rejections. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's age and mileage, as MOT passes with no advisories do not confirm component remaining life. The October 2023 and October 2024 failures with no defects recorded warrant a check of the DVSA failure reason codes, since a nil-defect fail often points to a documentation or emissions equipment read issue rather than wear. Verify underside structural integrity and exhaust corrosion, as 14-year-old Nissans commonly show chassis rust the annual test may not have flagged as an advisory.
