2016 Nissan Note 1.5L Diesel · GP66 EHC

The most recent MOT on 23 December 2025 at 115,613 miles returned a pass, though the tester flagged front tyres worn close to the legal limit with perished rubber on both offside and nearside. This follows an identical advisory twelve months prior at 111,820 miles, when the offside front tyre alone showed edge wear. The pattern is stable but repetitive: two consecutive years of front tyre neglect. The 2021 advisory for thinning front brake pads at 93,357 miles has not resurfaced, suggesting that particular wear item was addressed. No structural defects, corrosion warnings, or emissions failures appear anywhere in the record. Mileage accumulation shows a pronounced disruption. Between November 2021 and November 2022, the vehicle covered 14,388 miles, but then only 2,019 miles followed in the next twelve months to November 2023, and a mere 2,044 miles to December 2024. The gap from 107,745 miles to 109,776 miles across 2023-2024 is unusually low for a vehicle of this type. Low annual mileage can indicate light use, but it also raises questions about prolonged standing, which stresses suspension bushes, brake calipers, and battery condition. The subsequent jump to 115,613 miles by late 2025 suggests more regular use resumed, making the tyre condition all the more telling. A prospective buyer should prioritise inspection of the front axle geometry and steering components, as repeated edge wear on both front tyres points to possible misalignment or worn track rod ends rather than simple under-inflation. The perished rubber noted in 2025 indicates ageing tyres that may have degraded from standing. Brake caliper function warrants scrutiny given the history of thinning pads and the low-mileage intervals; seized or binding calipers often follow periods of inactivity. Suspension bushes and coil springs should be checked for deterioration consistent with a 2016 Nissan Note of this mileage, particularly if the vehicle experienced extended stationary periods. The absence of any corrosion advisories or structural notes is encouraging, though this does not eliminate the need for underside inspection. Overall, the record suggests a mechanically straightforward vehicle let down by inconsistent consumable maintenance on the front axle.
