2012 Nissan Note 1.4L Petrol · SM62 LUH

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a stable maintenance trend following a single early failure. The most recent test in October 2025 at 37,415 miles resulted in a pass with no advisories. This follows three consecutive years of clean passes dating back to 2022, indicating that the vehicle is currently maintained to a high standard without recurring mechanical or structural defects appearing in the record. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,672 miles per year. Between October 2022 and October 2025, the car covered only 5,686 miles, suggesting very light use or long periods of inactivity. While this low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it often introduces risks related to age-related degradation rather than friction. The failure in October 2022 at 31,708 miles occurred just three days before the scheduled test, likely a minor issue that was rectified immediately given the subsequent clean records. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on rubber-based components that suffer from time rather than distance. Low mileage vehicles frequently suffer from perished suspension bushes, cracked tyre sidewalls, and degraded brake hoses due to lack of movement. Check the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, as infrequent use can cause the calipers to seize. Additionally, inspect the structural integrity of the chassis and underside for rust, as the age of the metal remains constant regardless of how few miles the vehicle has driven.
