2013 Nissan Note 1.4L Petrol · NG62 LXZ

The 2013 Nissan Note presents a stable and reassuring maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 13 March 2026 at 107,303 miles with zero defects recorded. The preceding tests in March 2025 and March 2024 also passed without advisories or failures, indicating consistent mechanical upkeep across multiple annual cycles. The only blemish is a 7 March 2025 failure at 97,453 miles, though the record shows no defects attached to that entry, suggesting a procedural or administrative retest rather than a genuine mechanical fault. Overall, the trajectory is one of sustained reliability with no recurring issues. The mileage accumulation is steady and typical for a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 8,254 miles per year. Between the March 2023 test at 78,687 miles and the March 2024 test at 88,594 miles, the car covered 9,907 miles in twelve months, a slightly busier period. The following year saw a more moderate 8,885 miles added between March 2024 and March 2025, before tapering to 9,824 miles over the most recent twelve-month interval. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden spikes that would suggest long periods of disuse or odometer irregularities. Despite the clean MOT record, a buyer should still conduct a thorough physical inspection. At 107,303 miles, consumable components such as tyres, brake discs, pads, and wiper blades are likely approaching replacement regardless of test outcomes. The suspension system, including front and rear coil springs, shock absorbers, and suspension bushes, deserves close scrutiny for age-related deterioration. Exhaust system integrity and catalytic converter efficiency should be verified, particularly given the vehicle's age. Underbody corrosion and structural rust around sills, subframes, and mounting points are common on vehicles of this vintage and may not always surface during a standard MOT inspection. The absence of any flagged defects across five consecutive tests is a strong indicator of diligent ownership. Prospective buyers should verify service records to confirm regular oil changes, coolant replacements, and timing chain or belt servicing, as these are not captured in MOT data. A short test drive will reveal any subtle issues with clutch engagement, gearbox smoothness, and steering alignment that a static inspection might miss.
