2008 Nissan Note 1.6L Petrol · BD57 SFU

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status, following a clean MOT pass on January 12 2026 at 132,094 miles. This recent result is a significant improvement compared to the previous two years where the vehicle failed its initial inspections before passing on retest. The transition from repeated failures to a pass with no recorded defects in the most recent test suggests that the current owner has addressed the mechanical or emissions issues identified in previous years. At 18 years old, the recorded 132,094 miles average out to approximately 7,339 miles per year, which aligns with typical annual usage for a vehicle of this age. The data shows consistent operation, with roughly 6,400 miles driven between January 2024 and January 2025, and another 5,926 miles between January 2025 and January 2026. This regular interval indicates the car has not sat stationary for long periods, which often helps prevent the degradation of rubber components and internal fluid breakdown. A buyer should pay close attention to the specific components that caused the failures in 2024 and 2025, as the provided record does not detail the exact reasons for those defects. Given the age and mileage, a physical inspection must focus on structural integrity, specifically the sills and subframes, where these Nissan models are prone to corrosion. The tester should also verify the condition of the suspension bushes and brake lines to ensure they are not nearing the end of their functional life, as these are common points of failure on vehicles exceeding 130,000 miles.
