2014 Nissan Note 1.2L Petrol · MF14 KDX

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance history shows a persistent trend of deferred attention regarding consumable wear and minor components. The most recent test in January 2026 at 61,617 miles passed despite both front tyres being near the legal tread limit and showing uneven wear. This mirrors an issue recorded in August 2022 at 45,982 miles, suggesting the owner consistently waits until the MOT deadline before replacing rubber. The mileage profile is notably low for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,135 miles per year. There is a significant gap of 4,798 miles between August 2022 and August 2023, and another 6,829 miles between 2023 and early 2025. While the low mileage reduces overall strain on the drivetrain and engine, the long intervals between tests can accelerate the degradation of rubber components and surface corrosion, which is evident in the braking system. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the front braking system, as the records show recurring issues with pitting and scoring across 2023, 2025, and 2026. The tester flagged slight corrosion on the rear brake hose ferrules in 2023 at 50,780 miles, which should be checked for further structural decay or potential bulging. Given the repeated edge wear noted on the front tyres across multiple years, a professional wheel alignment check is essential to ensure the suspension geometry is not causing premature tyre failure.
