2013 Nissan Note 1.6L Petrol · LL13 FEG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent inspection in March 2026 at 33,961 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable but shows signs of age-related degradation rather than high-mile wear. While the car passed without defects in both 2023 and 2025, the most recent test indicates that components are beginning to reach their service limits, requiring proactive attention despite the low annual mileage. At 33,961 miles over 13 years, this Nissan Note has exceptionally low mileage, averaging approximately 2,600 miles per year. This low usage often reduces mechanical wear on the engine and gearbox but frequently leads to the perishing of rubber components due to age. There is a notable gap in usage between March 2023 and February 2024, where the vehicle covered only 7,041 miles, followed by a more consistent increase of roughly 4,000 miles in the following year. This pattern suggests the car may sit stationary for long periods. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front axle and braking system. The record flagged worn front brake discs in both 2024 and 2026, suggesting the metal is thinning or experiencing surface corrosion from lack of frequent use. Additionally, the tester noted worn suspension arm bushes on both fronts in March 2026. While these did not cause a failure, the rubber is cracking, which is a common issue for low-mileage vehicles where rubber dries out over time. Tyres also require close scrutiny. The history shows the nearside front tyre flagged for cracking and perishing in 2024, and again for perishing in 2026. Because the mileage is low, the rubber is likely failing from age rather than tread depth depletion. Verify that the remaining tyres do not suffer from the same dry rot and check the chassis for any surface rust accumulation, as long periods of standing can sometimes accelerate corrosion on the underbody.
