2008 Nissan Note 1.6L Petrol · BG08 UGD

This 2008 Nissan Note presents a remarkably clean MOT record for its age and mileage. The most recent test in November 2025 at 157,387 miles passed with no defects, and the three preceding annual tests also passed without any advisories or failures. The single failure in January 2023 at 146,504 miles recorded no defects, which suggests a minor administrative or retest issue rather than a genuine mechanical problem. The maintenance trend is stable and, if anything, improving, as the vehicle has consistently passed with a clean sheet for over two years. The recorded mileage of 157,387 miles over 18 years equates to roughly 8,744 miles per year, which is typical for a car of this class and age. The annual increments are consistent: from 146,504 miles in January 2023 to 150,733 miles in January 2024 (4,229 miles), then to 152,823 miles in November 2024 (2,090 miles), and finally to 157,387 miles in November 2025 (4,564 miles). There are no suspicious gaps or sudden mileage spikes that would indicate clocking or prolonged periods of disuse. Given the absence of any recorded defects or advisories across four consecutive tests, the vehicle appears to have been well maintained in recent years. However, an 18-year-old car with over 157,000 miles will inevitably have wear on suspension bushes, ball joints, and dampers, even if not yet flagged. A prospective buyer should inspect the underside for corrosion, particularly on subframes, sills, and brake pipes, as these are common failure points on Nissan Notes of this era. Brake discs and pads, along with exhaust system condition, also warrant a close look, as the clean MOT record may simply reflect good preparation before each test rather than long-term component health.
