2014 Nissan Note 1.2L Petrol · LR14 XHM

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, though the MOT status is currently lapsed by four years. The most recent recorded test in June 2022 at 41,126 miles resulted in a pass with no defects, following a minor failure on the same day for ineffective windscreen wipers. Since that entry, the car has not undergone a formal inspection, meaning the current state of its mechanical and safety components remains unverified by the DVSA standards. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 12-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,400 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage between April 2017 at 13,772 miles and June 2018 at 23,547 miles, suggesting the car likely sat stationary for extended periods. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, it often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components. The record shows no rapid accumulation of miles, indicating a consistent history of light-use rather than a high-stress commuter vehicle. A buyer should specifically inspect the condition of the tyres and suspension components, as the 2018 test flagged three tyres worn to the legal limit and unevenly. Low-mileage vehicles frequently suffer from flat-spotting and seized brake calipers due to lack of use. Given the four-year gap since the last MOT, a thorough physical check for structural corrosion on the chassis, perished suspension bushes, and degraded rubber hoses is essential prior to any purchase. Checking the fluid levels and battery health is also necessary to ensure the vehicle has not deteriorated during its recent periods of inactivity.
