2014 Nissan Note 1.2L Petrol · LO14 SWF

A clean and stable MOT history supports the roadworthiness case for this 2014 Nissan Note, with the most recent test on 3 September 2026 returning a pass and no defects recorded, matching the clean outcomes of 2025, 2020 and 2019. Across eight recorded tests there are no failures, and the advisories that do appear are concentrated on a handful of wear items rather than structural, suspension or corrosion-related deterioration. The two most recent passes without advisories suggest the items previously flagged have been attended to, leaving a record that, while not entirely advisory-free, shows a tightening trend over the last twenty-four months. The recorded mileage of 62,350 miles against a twelve-year age profile works out to roughly 5,196 miles per year, which is notably below average for a vehicle of this type and age. The MOT history shows tests in each of the last seven consecutive years with no gaps in annual testing, which suggests the car has remained in regular use rather than being laid up for extended periods. Low annual mileage of this kind tends to reduce wear on major drivetrain components but can bring its own considerations, such as extended standing time between journeys and the typical age-related deterioration of rubber and polymer components. The mileage progression between tests does not show any abrupt jumps, supporting a consistent usage pattern throughout the recorded period. The advisories worth focusing on are confined to braking and tyres, both of which are normal consumable wear items for a car of this age and mileage. Front brake pads were flagged as wearing thin in 2022 and again in 2024, and front brake discs were noted as worn but not excessively in the same two tests; the absence of either advisory in 2025 and 2026 indicates these items were likely replaced. On a test drive, listen for any binding or scraping from the front calipers when releasing the pedal, and check for uneven braking pull to one side, which can point to a seized caliper slider following pad and disc work. The 2024 test also recorded a nail in the offside rear tyre and a nearside rear tyre worn close to the legal limit, and the 2023 test flagged both front tyres worn close to the limit on their edges, an alignment-related pattern that warrants checking the current tread depth across the full width of each front tyre and looking for feathering on the inner or outer shoulder. Given the absence of any recorded suspension, corrosion, exhaust, lighting or structural advisories across all eight tests, there are no specific chassis or underbody items flagged in the history that demand targeted inspection. That said, the age and low-mileage profile make a careful look at the condition of the suspension bushes, anti-roll bar links and coil springs worthwhile, as these rubber components can deteriorate through age and standing time as much as through mileage. During a road test, pay attention to any clonks or knocking from the front suspension over speed humps and uneven surfaces, and check for excessive wander or vagueness through the steering that could indicate worn linkages. With no advisories recorded on the two most recent tests and a consistent annual usage pattern, the mechanical picture presented by the DVSA record is a stable one, though a prospective buyer should still verify the present state of the braking system and tyres directly, as these are the components the history identifies as the primary wear areas.
