2008 Nissan Note 1.4L Petrol · AG08 OYR

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a concerning trend of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. While it passed its latest test in August 2025 at 108,038 miles, this followed a failure just four days prior. That failure highlighted multiple critical safety issues, including structural failures in both rear tyres and a worn nearside front tyre. The pattern suggests that the owner only addresses mechanical faults when forced by the MOT tester, rather than performing routine safety checks on consumable components. At 108,038 miles over 18 years, the car has averaged approximately 6,000 miles per year, which is consistent with low-use urban driving. The data shows a significant accumulation of roughly 10,000 miles between July 2023 and July 2024, and another 8,400 miles between July 2024 and August 2025. This low annual mileage has not prevented the degradation of rubber components, as evidenced by the recurring perishing and cracking noted across multiple tests which indicate tyres are reaching the end of their lifespan. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the lighting assembly and exhaust system, as the 2024 failure flagged seriously defective lenses and incorrect beam aim alongside an insecure silencer. The previous supplementary restraint system warning lamp in 2024 is a major red flag that requires verification that the fault was properly cleared and repaired. Given the recurring issues with tyre structural integrity and uneven wear, an inspection of the suspension geometry and wheel alignment is essential to ensure the edge wear is not caused by worn bushes or misaligned components.
