2013 Nissan Note 1.4L Petrol · GF13 TYA

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance record shows a clear worsening trend regarding brake component degradation. While it passed the most recent test on June 3 2026 at 47,637 miles, the tester flagged both front brake discs as being pitted and scored. This follows an advisory from June 2025 at 45,640 miles where the inner edges of the front discs were already noted for uneven wear. This progression from uneven wear to surface pitting suggests the components are now nearing required replacement. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 2013 Nissan Note, averaging only approximately 3,664 miles per year over its 13-year life. This consistent lower-than-average usage often results in less wear on the drivetrain and engine, but it can lead to accelerated aging of rubber components and metal surfaces. The intervals between tests are regular, with the vehicle covering roughly 2,000 to 2,200 miles annually since 2022, indicating it is used primarily for short-distance trips or sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer should prioritize a physical inspection of the braking system, as the recurring issues with the front discs indicate that the calipers may be sticking or the discs are simply corroding from lack of use. The 2022 advisory at 39,970 miles regarding a perished offside rear tyre is a classic sign of low-mileage vehicles where the rubber outlives before the tread wears down. Inspect the suspension bushings and tyre sidewalls thoroughly, as these low-use cars often suffer from dry rot and perished seals rather than mechanical wear from high mileage.
