2015 Nissan Note 1.2L Petrol · GV15 UVS

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history shows a trend of reactive rather than proactive care. While the most recent test in February 2026 at 58,127 miles passed, it followed a failure just one day prior. This failure identified an insecure rear boot lid latch and a non-functional rear position lamp, which were addressed to secure the pass. The presence of an ongoing oil leak and a perishing rear tyre suggests that the owner only addresses defects when a test fails rather than performing routine preventative maintenance. At 11 years old, the recorded mileage of 58,127 miles is significantly below average, averaging approximately 5,284 miles per year. There is a notable gap in data between February 2023 and April 2024, where the car covered 7,000 miles in 14 months, followed by another 8,300 miles over the subsequent two years leading up to the latest test. This low-use pattern often leads to the degradation of rubber components, which is evidenced by the cracking and perishing sidewall flagged in the February 2026 inspection. A buyer must inspect the engine bay to assess the extent of the reported oil leak, as the tester noted it was not excessive but present. Persistent leaks can indicate gasket failure or seal degradation over time. The 2024 failure for an excessively worn offside front suspension arm ball joint and worn bushing indicates that suspension components are beginning to age out due to age rather than high mileage. The buyer should check the remaining bushes for similar wear and ensure the boot lid latch is now fully functional, as child seats previously obstructed the inspection of the adult seatbelts.
