2015 Nissan Note 1.2L Petrol · EF15 FGC

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by a clean pass during the most recent MOT test in June 2023 at 37,562 miles. This result marks an improvement over previous years where minor consumable failures were consistently identified. While the history shows recurring issues with secondary items, the lack of defects in the latest inspection suggests that the immediate mechanical and structural components were within acceptable tolerances as of that date. At 11 years old, the recorded mileage of 37,562 miles represents exceptionally low usage, averaging 3,415 miles per year. The data shows consistent low-mileage intervals, such as only 2,017 miles covered between the July 2022 and June 2023 tests. This low annual mileage typically reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine components, but it often correlates with the degradation of rubber-based parts due to the vehicle sitting for extended periods without being subjected to regular use. A physical inspection should focus on the condition of the rubber components, as the record highlights a persistent trend of perished tyres and deteriorated wiper blades between 2020 and 2022. The tester repeatedly flagged cracking sidewalls and outer edges on the front and rear tyres, which is indicative of age-related dry rot rather than wear. A buyer must verify if these tyres have since been replaced with fresh rubber, as low mileage does not prevent the structural failure of tyres over a decade. Since the last recorded MOT was conducted nearly three years ago, the vehicle is currently overdue for a test. The significant gap in testing suggests potential corrosion on the brake discs and calipers, which often occurs on low-mileage cars that remain stationary. Inspecting the suspension bushes and exhaust system is necessary to ensure that the low usage has not led to unexpected brittleness or surface oxidation on the chassis.
