2016 Nissan Note 1.2L Petrol · FH16 WTU

The 2016 Nissan Note presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 20 June 2025 at 15,248 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean results since 2022. The earlier failure logged on 18 June 2024 at 13,751 miles carries no recorded defects, indicating an administrative or presentational issue at the testing station rather than a mechanical fault, as the same-day retest passed the vehicle. Recorded mileage shows very light use for a ten-year-old car. The odometer climbed from 10,366 miles at the 17 June 2022 test to 12,093 miles in June 2023, 13,751 miles in June 2024, and 15,248 miles by June 2025. That averages roughly 1,500 miles per year. Such low accumulation suggests extended standing periods, which can allow brake calipers to seize, tyres to develop flat spots, and underbody corrosion to start where moisture sits undisturbed. The MOT history flags no advisories on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, exhaust emissions, or structural integrity across the five-year span. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection beneath the sills and subframes for hidden rust, and confirm the brake calipers are not binding after the long idle spells implied by the mileage. The clean record points to an owner who kept the car garaged and minimally driven rather than one deferring consumable replacement. Given the absence of recorded wear items, expect original tyres and wiper blades may now be aged beyond safe service life despite adequate tread. Verify fluid condition and coolant anti-freeze strength before relying on the car for regular use.
