2009 Nissan Note 1.4L Petrol · BN09 DJZ

The 2026‑05‑12 MOT at 65,047 miles confirms the Nissan Note is presently roadworthy, with no defects recorded. The preceding 2026‑05‑05 test, also at 65,032 miles, listed multiple failures including headlamp aim errors, washer fluid shortage, a tyre tear and an SRS warning, but the subsequent repair appears to have cleared all issues, indicating an improving maintenance trend. The vehicle’s 65,047 miles equate to roughly 3,800 miles per year over its 17‑year life, a low usage pattern that may reflect periods of inactivity. Mileage gaps are evident: from the 2025‑02‑25 test at 56,413 miles to the 2026‑03‑18 test at 64,987 miles, an increase of 8,574 miles occurred within 13 months, and the final 7‑day interval added only 15 miles, suggesting recent intensive use after a relatively static period. Recurring faults centre on the suspension arm pins and bushes, which have been flagged as excessively worn in three separate tests, indicating possible neglect of suspension maintenance. The front brake disc was noted as seriously weakened in March 2026, while the rear exhaust mounting and its clamp show corrosion that could compromise structural integrity. Additional concerns include the torn near‑side front tyre, insufficient washer fluid, and an ongoing SRS warning lamp, all of which merit close inspection for safety‑critical wear. A buyer should therefore examine the suspension components for play, verify the condition and thickness of the brake discs, inspect the exhaust system for rust and secure mounting, assess tyre tread and any signs of structural failure, test washer fluid levels and headlamp aim, and scan for SRS fault codes; the latest MOT shows the vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the history suggests underlying wear that could affect long‑term reliability.
