2012 Nissan Note 1.4L Petrol · OV62 LHO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a persistent decline in structural and suspension integrity. While the car passed its most recent test in October 2025, the history reveals a recurring pattern of sub-frame damage and worn offside front suspension bushes. These issues have appeared in every inspection for the last four years, indicating that faults are being monitored rather than proactively rectified. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,236 miles per year. With 59,299 miles recorded, the car has seen minimal use, with consistent increments of roughly 3,000 to 3,500 miles between tests. While this low mileage suggests less wear on the engine and drivetrain, it often correlates with the degradation of rubber components and age-related corrosion, which aligns with the structural concerns noted in the records. A prospective buyer must conduct a thorough in-person inspection of the sub-frame, as it has been flagged as damaged but not seriously weakened since 2021. The recurring offside front suspension arm pin or bush wear suggests the component is nearing the end of its life and requires replacement to ensure handling stability. Additionally, the buyer should verify that the central stop lamp has been replaced, as this was a repeated failure in previous years.
