2014 Nissan Note 1.2L Petrol · KS63 YPL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward age-related component degradation. While the most recent test in April 2026 at 64,772 miles passed, the tester flagged both worn front brake discs and a corroded front coil spring. This represents a departure from the clean records of 2023 and 2025, suggesting the vehicle is beginning to show signs of its age despite the relatively low mileage. At 12 years old, the recorded 64,772 miles reflect a very low annual average of approximately 5,400 miles. This low-usage pattern is consistent across the history, with a gap of only 4,067 miles between April 2025 and April 2026. While low mileage generally reduces mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain, it often leads to accelerated aging of rubber components and surface corrosion on metal parts, which is likely evidenced by the corroded coil spring identified in the 2026 test. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the front suspension to assess the extent of the corrosion on the coil springs, as corroded springs are prone to sudden failure. The record of a non-excessive oil leak in April 2024 warrants a physical check of the engine sump and surrounding seals to ensure the leak has not worsened over the two years. Additionally, since the front brake discs were noted as worn in the latest inspection, the thickness of the pads and the condition of the calipers should be verified to ensure they do not require immediate replacement.
