AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The Nissan Note presents as roadworthy following the most recent MOT pass recorded on 13 October 2025 at 110,916 miles, though the same date shows an anomalous failure with no defects logged. Maintenance trend across the supplied records remains stable, with consecutive passes in November 2022 at 98,995 miles, November 2023 at 104,068 miles, and November 2024 at 109,022 miles. No advisories or mechanical faults appear in the chronology, indicating consistent test compliance by prior keepers. Mileage accumulation reflects light use for an eighteen year old vehicle. The odometer advanced just 5,073 miles between the November 2022 and November 2023 tests, then 4,954 miles to the November 2024 examination, and only 1,894 miles by October 2025. Annualised distance sits near 6,162 miles, below typical fleet averages. Supplied history lacks entries before late 2022, so earlier wear patterns stay unverified, but the recent cadence shows no rapid accrual or neglected gaps. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of age susceptible components despite the clean certificate trail. The MOT record logs no corrosion, worn suspension bushes, fractured coil springs, binding calipers or thin brake discs, yet a 2008 chassis at 110,916 miles commonly conceals fatigue not captured in test measurements. The unexplained failure on 13 October 2025 demands scrutiny of the DVSA entry to confirm no suppressed defect. Prior keepers sustained statutory testing, but absence of advisories does not prove refreshed consumables. Focus on structural integrity around sills and subframes, exhaust emissions under load, and steering joint play. Low annual mileage can permit moisture induced rust where the car stood idle. Verify service history independently, as the MOT alone shows a stable yet sparsely documented life.
