2013 Nissan Note 1.2L Petrol · LD63 YRJ

The vehicle presents a concerning roadworthiness profile characterized by a worsening trend in mechanical and structural condition. While the car passed its most recent test in September 2025 at 103,123 miles, the record reveals a significant increase in advisories compared to the previous year. The transition from a clean record in 2024 to a multi-point failure list in 2025 indicates that the vehicle is entering a stage of life where multiple components are failing simultaneously without proactive replacement. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical low-annual use, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per year over its 13-year lifespan. The jump from 76,891 miles in August 2023 to 90,126 miles in September 2024 shows a steady accumulation of roughly 13,000 miles in that period. This lower mileage generally suggests less strain on the drivetrain but does not prevent age-related degradation of rubber and metal components, which is clearly evident in the recorded data. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and chassis. The 2025 test flagged corrosion on all four coil springs and both front Macpherson struts, alongside worn suspension arm bushes on the front axle. These recurring issues, also dating back to 2023, suggest that the previous owner has deferred preventative suspension maintenance. The presence of an oil leak in the latest test also requires a close-up examination to determine if it is a minor gasket seep or a more significant engine fault. The history also highlights past issues with emissions and electrical systems. The 2024 failure due to a major exhaust leak and high lambda readings, followed by the 2025 failure for an inoperative malfunction indicator light, suggests the engine's fuel management or exhaust system may be temperamental. Given the noted corrosion on structural-related components, the vehicle carries a high risk of future MOT failures as the structural integrity weakens and rubber components continue to perish.
