2010 Nissan Note 1.4L Petrol · CK10 HRG

The 2010 Nissan Note presents a stable and currently sound roadworthiness profile, culminating in a clean pass on 6 September 2024 at 89,067 miles. The maintenance trend remains entirely consistent, with no defects recorded across the documented MOT history. A minor anomaly exists where a failure is logged on 4 September 2024 at 89,066 miles with no defects listed, immediately followed by a pass two days later; this typically indicates a data entry discrepancy or an unrecorded rectification rather than a recurring mechanical fault. The absence of advisories over multiple years suggests the vehicle has avoided the typical deterioration seen in older superminis. The mileage accumulation aligns precisely with the vehicle's age, reflecting exceptionally light usage of roughly 5,567 miles annually. Between the September 2022 test at 80,092 miles and the September 2023 test at 85,260 miles, the car covered 5,168 miles. The subsequent year saw a slight reduction in use, traveling just 3,807 miles to reach the 89,067-mile reading in September 2024. This low-mileage profile inherently reduces wear on consumables, suspension components, and the drivetrain, though prolonged periods of standing can introduce its own issues such as perished rubber or brake disc corrosion. Despite the pristine MOT record, a physical inspection must account for the specific risks associated with a low-mileage, sixteen-year-old vehicle. The lack of recorded defects does not preclude age-related degradation of suspension bushes, coil springs, and exhaust components. Inspect the underbody for structural corrosion, a common affliction for vehicles of this era, particularly around the sills and suspension mounting points. Check the condition of the brake discs and calipers for surface rust resulting from short journeys, and verify the condition of the tyres, as low annual mileage often leads to rubber perishing before the tread wears out. The drivetrain and steering components should be examined for any play that might not have manifested during the low-speed maneuvers of an MOT test.
