2010 Nissan Note 1.5L Diesel · AV10 TNF

The 2010 Nissan Note has demonstrated a stable roadworthiness record over the past three MOT cycles, with the most recent test on 2025-11-24 at 140,016 miles passing without any defects. This suggests the vehicle has been maintained consistently enough to avoid major failures, though the duplicate entry for the 2024-12-03 test—one pass, one fail—appears to be an administrative anomaly rather than a mechanical issue. No advisories or recurring faults have been recorded, indicating the tester did not identify any pending concerns during inspections. However, the lack of defects does not preclude hidden wear, particularly in high-mileage components like suspension bushes, coil springs, or drivetrain joints, which often fail silently before becoming MOT-critical. The mileage progression of approximately 8,751 miles per year aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, with no abrupt spikes or prolonged stagnation. The gap between tests remains standard—around 12 months—though the 2024 entry’s duplication is unusual and may warrant confirmation of the vehicle’s true service history. There is no evidence of excessive wear from the MOT record alone, but the cumulative mileage suggests attention should be paid to consumables like brake pads, tyres, and wiper blades, which may require replacement regardless of MOT outcomes. Given the absence of recorded faults, an in-person inspection should prioritise suspension components—particularly rear bushes and coil springs—for excessive play or corrosion, as these often degrade gradually without immediate MOT failure. The brake system, while not flagged, should be checked for uneven wear on discs or caliper binding, especially if the vehicle exhibits pulling or prolonged stopping distances. Structural integrity remains a concern for a 16-year-old car; inspect the underbody for corrosion around wheel arches, sills, and the exhaust system, as hidden rust can compromise the chassis. The engine bay should be examined for fluid leaks, as these are common in older Nissan models and often precede more serious failures.
