2016 Nissan Note 1.2L Petrol · JE08 MOC

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clean roadworthiness status at its most recent inspection. The March 2026 test at 30,406 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, indicating the car was in a satisfactory condition at the time of testing. This follows a consistent pattern of passing inspections since 2019, suggesting the vehicle has been maintained sufficiently to meet minimum regulatory standards. The mileage history shows exceptionally low usage for a 2016 model, averaging approximately 3,000 miles per year. Between July 2022 and April 2023, the vehicle covered only 166 miles, and between July 2020 and July 2021, it covered just 161 miles. While this low usage reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine, such long periods of inactivity can lead to secondary issues. The March 2025 advisory regarding a nearside rear tyre showing cracking or perishing is a direct consequence of this low usage, as rubber compounds degrade over time regardless of distance driven. A prospective buyer should focus physical inspections on rubber components and fluids due to the vehicle's history of standing idle. The 2020 failure for low tyre tread depth and the 2025 advisory for perishing tyres suggest that tyres may need replacement more frequently due to age rather than wear. I recommend checking the condition of all sidewalls, suspension bushes, and drive belts for signs of cracking. Additionally, given the low annual mileage, the service history should be verified to ensure oil changes occurred at regular intervals to prevent moisture buildup in the engine.
