2013 Nissan Note 1.6L Petrol · FN13 MWF

The 2013 Nissan Note demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with no defects recorded in its last three MOT tests from 2023 to 2025. The most recent 2025-08-25 inspection at 67,153 miles confirmed compliance, reinforcing consistent maintenance. Earlier tests in 2024 and 2023 also passed without issues, suggesting the vehicle has been well-kept. The single 2022-08-30 failure at 65,006 miles is noted but explicitly listed as “no defects recorded,” which may indicate a procedural error or minor non-compliance resolved prior to retesting. Overall, the absence of recurring mechanical or safety failures implies the car has been maintained to acceptable standards. The vehicle’s mileage of 67,153 miles over 13 years equates to approximately 5,166 miles annually, significantly below the UK average for its age. This low usage could reflect infrequent driving or prolonged periods of inactivity, which might accelerate wear on components like suspension bushes, rubber seals, or brake calipers if not regularly exercised. The MOT records show steady mileage progression, with no abrupt spikes or extended gaps between tests, suggesting the owner prioritized regular servicing. However, the lack of high-mileage wear indicators in the tests does not confirm the car’s mechanical integrity under heavier use, as its history lacks data from higher mileage thresholds. A buyer should inspect for signs of corrosion, particularly in areas prone to rust such as wheel arches or underbody panels, given the car’s age. Suspension components, including coil springs and bushings, warrant scrutiny, as low mileage can mask gradual degradation. Brake systems, including discs and calipers, should be checked for uneven wear or binding, even though no issues were flagged. The absence of advisories in recent tests is reassuring, but the 2022 failure highlights the importance of verifying the vehicle’s service history and confirming that all prior issues were fully resolved.
