2013 Nissan Note 1.4L Petrol · FH13 YOY

The 2013 Nissan Note presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 2 July 2025 at 106,803 miles with zero defects recorded. This outcome indicates the vehicle currently meets all required safety and emissions standards without any immediate mechanical or structural concerns. The absence of advisories or failures in the most recent assessment suggests diligent upkeep over the preceding twelve months. The mileage accumulation aligns closely with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 8,216 miles annually. Between the June 2022 test at 86,768 miles and the June 2023 test at 93,896 miles, the car covered 7,128 miles, followed by 7,715 miles leading to the June 2024 test at 101,611 miles. The most recent year saw a slightly reduced accumulation of 5,192 miles before the July 2025 pass. A failed test appears in the records for 16 June 2023 at 93,896 miles, yet the data lists no defects for this specific failure, which likely represents an administrative anomaly or an aborted test rather than a mechanical fault, given the clean pass recorded on the same date. Despite the clean MOT history, a pre-purchase inspection must focus on the typical wear points for a supermini of this age and mileage. Examine the front suspension drop links and rear trailing arm bushes for deterioration, alongside checking the coil springs for corrosion or fracture. Brake disc thickness and condition require verification, as consumable wear accelerates around the 100,000-mile mark. Inspect the exhaust system for corrosion and ensure the underbody remains free from structural rust, particularly around the sills and subframes, as these areas dictate the long-term integrity of the vehicle.
