2008 Nissan Note 1.4L Petrol · AF08 OBJ

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2026-02-03 at 108,883 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend. Previous tests from 2025-02-07 (103,891 miles) and 2024-01-31 (101,322 miles) also passed without issues, suggesting consistent upkeep. However, a failed test on 2025-02-06 at 103,887 miles—just one day prior—remains unexplained, as no defects were logged. This anomaly may reflect administrative error or a minor, unresolved issue, but the absence of recorded faults in subsequent tests implies the problem was likely addressed. The mileage progression aligns with the vehicle’s 18-year age, averaging 6,049 miles annually. Tests are spaced irregularly, with a 13-month gap between 2024-01-31 and 2025-02-07, and a 12-month gap between 2025-02-07 and 2026-02-03. No rapid mileage spikes or extended inactivity periods are evident, suggesting moderate, consistent usage. The clean record of passed tests, aside from the unexplained failure, indicates the owner prioritized compliance, though the lack of detailed defect reports limits insight into underlying mechanical health. A buyer should verify the condition of suspension components, particularly bushes and coil springs, which degrade over time. The absence of brake-related defects in MOTs does not preclude wear on discs or calipers, which may require inspection. Structural corrosion, especially on the chassis or body seams, warrants scrutiny, as older vehicles like this Note are prone to rust in high-moisture environments. Additionally, the failed test’s unresolved nature suggests a potential oversight, necessitating a pre-purchase check for hidden issues not captured in the MOT logs.
