2016 Nissan Note 1.2L Petrol · YX66 PXM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of deferred brake component replacement. The most recent test in November 2025 at 40,981 miles resulted in a failure due to thin front brake pads and worn discs, alongside insufficient washer fluid. While the vehicle passed the retest the same day, the recurring nature of front brake wear across multiple years suggests the owner only addresses components once they reach a failure threshold rather than performing preventative maintenance. At 40,981 miles, this ten-year-old Nissan Note shows low annual usage, averaging approximately 4,100 miles per year. There is a significant gap in records between November 2023 at 34,501 miles and January 2025 at 38,059 miles. This low-mile profile often leads to age-related degradation of rubber components, which is evidenced by the January 2025 advisory where the tester flagged cracking and perishing on the shoulders of the rear tyres despite having sufficient tread depth. A buyer should closely inspect the front braking system to ensure the discs and pads replaced in November 2025 were fitted of adequate quality. The 2022 advisory regarding a non-excessive oil leak warrants a physical check of the engine bay to ensure this has not worsened. Given the low mileage and the reported tyre perishing, all tyres should be checked for sidewall cracking, as the rubber often loses its structural integrity before the tread wears out on infrequently used vehicles.
