2014 Nissan Note 1.5L Diesel · VO14 OPU

The 2014 Nissan Note presents a stable mechanical trend, culminating in a clean pass at its most recent MOT on 22 April 2025 at 87,643 miles. The record shows no defects, indicating the vehicle met all roadworthiness standards at that time. A failed test appears on 15 December 2022 at 86,722 miles, yet the record curiously lists no defects for that specific failure, suggesting either a data anomaly or an administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault, as the vehicle passed cleanly on the same day. Evaluating the mileage pattern reveals typical usage for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 7,300 miles annually. Between the tests on 28 October 2021 at 81,113 miles and 17 March 2022 at 82,449 miles, the Note covered 1,336 miles over five months. The subsequent gap between March 2022 and December 2022 shows 4,273 miles accumulated over nine months. Most notably, the mileage remains entirely static at 87,643 miles from the December 2022 test right through to the April 2025 test, indicating the vehicle has either stood stationary for over two years or suffered an odometer discrepancy. Given the absence of recorded mechanical defects, a buyer should focus on the implications of the stationary mileage and the natural degradation of a twelve-year-old vehicle. Tyres, rubber suspension bushes, and brake components deteriorate with age and lack of use rather than just mileage. Inspect the tyre sidewalls for perishing and cracking, and check the brake discs for surface corrosion that can develop during prolonged standing. Examine the exhaust system for corrosion and verify the structural integrity of the underbody and sills. The lack of recent MOT data since April 2025 means a pre-purchase inspection is essential to confirm the current condition of these aging consumables and structural points.
