2016 Nissan Note 1.5L Diesel · GY16 BVT

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its last five MOT examinations without any failures. The most recent test on 30 July 2025 at 26,408 miles returned a pass, though it identified that both front tyres and the offside rear tyre were perished. This indicates that while the vehicle is mechanically sound enough to pass, rubber components are reaching the end of their operational life due to age rather than tread wear. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,641 miles per year. Between March 2021 at 21,483 miles and July 2025 at 26,408 miles, the car covered only 4,925 miles over four years. This infrequent usage suggests the vehicle has likely sat for extended periods, which explains the low wear on engine and suspension components. However, long periods of inactivity often lead to secondary issues such as seized calipers, fluid contamination, or degradation of seals. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the condition of all rubber-based parts, as the 2025 advisory highlights that age-related decay is already occurring. Check the brake discs for surface corrosion and ensure the calipers are not binding, as low mileage often prevents effective cleaning. Inspect the wiper blades, noting the 2022 report of a smoking nearside wiper, and verify the tyre sidewalls for cracking or dry rot which frequently affects low-mileage, older vehicles.
