2013 Nissan Note 1.5L Diesel · VE13 RFK

The 2025‑09‑08 MOT at 91,532 miles confirms the 2013 Nissan Note remains roadworthy, with only minor defects that did not prevent a pass. The record shows a stable maintenance pattern, with recurring but non‑critical issues such as a light oil mist on the front shock, a corroded coil spring, and a near‑side front tyre worn close to the legal limit; no major mechanical failures have arisen since the 2020 test. Mileage has risen steadily from 8,848 miles in March 2016 to 91,532 miles in September 2025, averaging roughly 7,000 miles per year, which aligns with the vehicle’s 13‑year age and typical usage. The jump from 41,417 miles in April 2019 to 67,160 miles in September 2020 represents a 25,743‑mile increase in one year, indicating a period of heavier use, while the subsequent years show more regular increments of 5‑7 k miles. A buyer should therefore focus on the suspension system, inspecting the front and rear shock absorbers for binding or leaking, the coil spring for corrosion, and the condition of the brake discs and pads, which have shown wear in earlier tests. The near‑side rear body damage and the deteriorated registration plate merit visual inspection for structural integrity and legibility, and the oil leak noted in 2020 and 2025 should be verified as non‑excessive. The tyre tread depth must be measured to confirm safety. Overall, the vehicle’s history suggests reasonable care but highlights recurring wear items that require attention; a thorough in‑person inspection of suspension components, braking system, tyre condition, and any signs of structural rust is essential before purchase.
