2013 Nissan Note 1.2L Petrol · DX63 EXR

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. While the most recent test in May 2026 at 81,201 miles passed, it flagged a worn nearside front lower suspension arm bush and an inoperative registration plate lamp. This follows a multi-year trend where the plate lamp has failed every test since at least 2024, suggesting the owner consistently neglects minor electrical defects until an inspection occurs. The recorded mileage of 81,201 miles over 13 years averages to approximately 6,246 miles per year, which is consistent with low-intensity urban use. The data shows steady usage over recent years, with roughly 4,000 miles covered between February 2024 and March 2025, and another 2,158 miles between March 2025 and May 2026. This consistent interval suggests the vehicle does not sit for long periods, though the low annual mileage means that age-related degradation of rubber components remains a primary concern relative to mechanical wear. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension assembly, as the record shows significant failures in March 2023 involving the offside front anti-roll bar linkage and lower arm ball joint. The recurrence of a worn bush on the nearside in 2026 indicates that suspension components are nearing the end of their functional life and require close monitoring. The braking system also warrants attention; the 2023 failure for thin brake pads and pitted discs shows that while these were likely replaced since, the current state of the hardware should be verified to ensure no new corrosion or thinning has occurred.
