2014 Nissan Note 1.2L Petrol · DF63 YXG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history shows a worsening trend regarding the suspension and braking components. While the most recent test in January 2026 at 87,997 miles passed, the car initially failed that same session due to multiple mechanical-related defects. The transition from a clean record in early 2024 to significant failures involving structural corrosion and wear in 2026 indicates that the vehicle's components are reaching the end of their service life. At 87,997 miles over 12 years, the Nissan Note has averaged approximately 7,333 miles per year, which aligns with typical low-to-moderate annual usage. The data shows a consistent mileage pattern, with roughly 7,200 miles covered between February 2024 and January 2025, and another 7,170 miles covered between January 2025 and January 2026. This regularity suggests the car is not sat for long periods, though the age of the rubber and metal components is clearly causing degradation despite the relatively low mileage. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the entire suspension and braking system. The January 2026 record flagged corrosion on both the offside front and rear coil springs, alongside an excessively worn nearside front anti-roll bar linkage. The tester also noted that the front brake discs are pitted and scored, which often results from infrequent use or environmental exposure. Furthermore, the slight free play in the offside front steering rack bush noted in early 2025 should be monitored to ensure it does not progressed into a more costly steering failure.
