2014 Nissan Note 1.2L Petrol · MF14 KFC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive approach rather than preventative care. While the most recent test on August 29, 2025 at 52,010 miles passed, it followed a failure just one day prior for multiple faults. The presence of a major exhaust leak and high lambda sensor readings in the August 2025 failure suggests that the previous owner only addresses mechanical issues when they prevent the vehicle from passing the annual test. The mileage profile is notably low for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,334 miles per year. The data shows a significant gap in usage between September 2023 at 51,228 miles and September 2024 at 51,854 miles, where only 626 miles were covered in a full year. Such low mileage often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components and dry seals, which correlates with the fractured offside front coil spring recorded in 2024 at 51,854 miles. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the engine bay and underbody to identify the source of the persistent oil leak which has appeared in every test since 2024. Although the tester noted the leak as not excessive, its longevity suggests a failing gasket or seal that will eventually require professional attention. Furthermore, the front brake discs were flagged as pitted and scored in the 2025 test; these should be checked for thickness and uneven wear to ensure the braking system remains effective, especially given that low mileage cars often suffer surface corrosion on the rotors.
