2014 Nissan Note Acenta Premium DCI 1.5L Diesel · KS63 YPP

This 2014 Nissan Note Acenta Premium dCi presents a clean and stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT, conducted on 3 June 2026 at 80,844 miles, passed with zero defects recorded. This outcome is consistent with the preceding five annual tests, all of which also passed without advisories or failures. The record indicates a vehicle that has been maintained to a consistently high mechanical standard, with no recurring faults, no emerging wear patterns, and no structural or safety-related concerns flagged by any tester over the past four years. The mileage accumulation is steady and unremarkable for a vehicle of this age. Between the June 2022 test at 53,400 miles and the June 2026 test at 80,844 miles, the car covered approximately 27,444 miles over four years, averaging roughly 6,861 miles annually. This is broadly in line with typical use for a twelve-year-old small family car. There are no suspicious gaps in the MOT record that would suggest long periods of inactivity or odometer irregularities. The annual testing pattern, with tests falling consistently in May or June each year, points to a single owner or a diligent keeper who maintained the vehicle on a predictable cycle. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer should still carry out a thorough in-person inspection focused on areas that MOT tests do not fully stress-test. The 1.5-litre dCi diesel engine is known for sensitivity to short-journey use, so checking for turbocharger wear, DPF regeneration health, and any signs of oil dilution around the dipstick or filler cap is advisable. The rear brake setup on this generation Note can develop sticking calipers or handbrake mechanism issues between tests, so a road test should include low-speed braking and a handbrake hold on an incline. Suspension bushes and front lower arm joints should be inspected for play, as these are common wear items on this platform that may not always present as a detectable fault during a stationary MOT inspection. Structurally, the Nissan Note is generally robust, but a close examination of the inner sills, subframe mounting points, and around the rear wheel arches for any signs of corrosion is prudent, particularly if the vehicle has spent time in areas with heavy road salt use. The clean MOT record is a strong positive indicator, but it does not substitute for a pre-purchase inspection by a qualified mechanic, especially given the vehicle's age and the limitations of the MOT test in detecting intermittent or early-stage mechanical deterioration.
