2015 Nissan Note 1.5L Diesel · WM15 FLL

The most recent MOT test for this 2015 Nissan Note was passed on 23 December 2025. Evaluating the overall maintenance trend, the vehicle appears to have been maintained in a stable manner, with no major failures recorded since 2019. While the history shows a period of clean tests between 2021 and 2022, the more recent entries indicate a transition toward addressing routine wear-and-tear items. The progression from brake disc advisories to more recent notes regarding tyre wear and registration plate deterioration suggests a vehicle that is entering a phase where consumable components require more frequent monitoring and replacement. The recorded mileage of 117,042 miles over approximately 11 years represents an average annual usage of roughly 10,640 miles. This is considered typical for a domestic vehicle in the UK and indicates a consistent usage pattern rather than extreme high-mileage commercial use or excessive periods of standing. This steady mileage is generally positive for mechanical health, as it reduces the risk of component seizure or fluid degradation caused by inactivity; however, at this mileage and age, the buyer should expect standard wear on suspension bushings, steering linkages, and various rubber seals throughout the drivetrain. Specific attention should be paid to the advisory regarding the offside front tyre being worn on the edge. This pattern of wear is often a symptom of incorrect wheel alignment or worn suspension components, such as tie rod ends or control arm bushes. During a test drive, you should listen for any rhythmic knocking or clunking sounds, particularly when navigating uneven road surfaces, which could indicate that the nearside rear shock absorber, previously noted for light oil misting, is beginning to fail. Additionally, check for any pulling to one side during straight-line driving, which would confirm an alignment or suspension issue. While the braking system has not had a major defect recorded recently, the history of worn discs suggests that the braking components are a recurring area of concern. Inspect the brake discs for significant corrosion or uneven surface wear and listen for any grinding or squealing during deceleration. Given the age of the vehicle, it is also prudent to verify the service history for evidence of scheduled fluid changes, specifically brake fluid and coolant, to ensure the system's integrity. Finally, ensure the rear registration plate is clearly legible and not excessively degraded to avoid non-compliance with visibility standards.
