2013 Nissan Note 1.4L Petrol · PF62 KHR

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a clean pass in November 2025 at 49,328 miles. The maintenance trend shows a period of reactive repair following a significant failure in late 2024. While the most recent test indicates no immediate defects, the history of a fractured offside front coil spring in October 2025 suggests that the owner has only addressed critical safety-related suspension components once they triggered an MOT failure. At 13 years old, the Nissan Note has covered a relatively low distance for its age, averaging approximately 3,800 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage patterns between October 2023 and November 2025, where the car covered 5,953 miles in just two years. This low annual mileage typically results in less mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain, but the long intervals between service points can often lead to the degradation of rubber components and accelerated surface corrosion, which is evident in the structural observations noted in the record. A buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of the underbody to assess structural integrity. The October 2024 test flagged corrosion on the front sub-frame, nearside suspension arm, and rear axle. Although the tester noted these were not seriously weakened at that time, corrosion on low-mileage vehicles often progresses rapidly if the car sits stationary. The buyer should look for scaling rust or deep pitting on the sub-frame mounting points to ensure the corrosion has not advanced beyond the point of requiring expensive welding. The previous failure of the coil spring in 2025 indicates that the suspension components may be reaching the end of their fatigue life. Given the age of the vehicle, an inspection should also check the bushes, ball joints, and shock absorbers for cracking or tearing. The buyer should also verify the tread depth and age of all tyres, as the record shows a previous failure for a bald offside front tyre.
