2015 Nissan Note 1.2L Petrol · SM64 OAD

The vehicle presents in a roadworthy state following a successful MOT on January 13, 2026, at 46,961 miles. While it failed the test just two miles prior due to an excessively worn nearside front suspension arm ball joint, the immediate repair and subsequent pass indicate a reactive maintenance approach. The overall trend appears stable, as the vehicle has maintained clean passes in the two preceding annual tests during 2024 and 2025. The mileage profile is notably low for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,270 miles per year. Between the February 2023 test at 38,493 miles and the January 2026 test at 46,961 miles, the car covered only 8,468 miles. This low usage pattern suggests minimal mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it also increases the risk of rubber-based components degrading or brakes seizing due to long periods of standing or short trip cycles. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension in person to ensure the ball joint replacement was fitted correctly and that no secondary play has developed. The 2023 advisory regarding a perishing nearside rear tyre highlights that age-related dry rot is a factor here, so a thorough check for sidewall cracking on all tyres is necessary. Given the low mileage, a physical inspection of brake discs for surface corrosion and caliper binding is also advised, as these components often suffer more from inactivity than from high-mileage use.
