2008 Nissan Note 1.6L Petrol · BK58 AEG

The 2008 Nissan Note presents a currently roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 24 May 2025 at 165,120 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend reads as stable on paper, with the three most recent passes showing clean sheets. A failed test on 27 May 2024 at 50,117 miles carries no listed defects, which points to an administrative or clerical rejection rather than a mechanical fault, followed by a same-day pass at identical mileage. Mileage behaviour across the record is irregular and warrants scrutiny. The car sat at 135,357 miles for the July 2022 test, then 140,610 miles by May 2023, a modest 5,253-mile gain. It then dropped sharply to 50,117 miles for the May 2024 tests, before jumping to 165,120 miles by May 2025. That 115,003-mile surge in twelve months, against a lifetime average near 9,173 miles per year, suggests either a late odometer correction, a recording error, or intensive commercial-style use in the final year. The earlier low annual accumulation implies long stationary periods or light running. Given the absence of advisories across all five entries, the DVSA record itself flags no worn suspension bushes, corroded structure, failing brakes, or exhaust issues. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of subframe corrosion, coil spring condition, and brake disc wear, as an 18-year-old high-mileage vehicle with unexplained mileage swings may hide undocumented wear. The 2024 zero-defect failure demands confirmation that no suppressed fault existed at sale. Previous ownership patterns remain opaque from a clean MOT slate, but the 2024 mileage collapse followed by a massive 2025 climb implies the vehicle changed hands or entered fleet duty.
