2009 Nissan Note 1.6L Petrol · CP09 KPA

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a pattern of deferred mechanical repairs and recurring wear issues. The most recent test in July 2025 at 75,403 miles passed despite advisories for pitted front brake discs and corroded rear suspension components. While the car currently meets minimum standards, the persistence of brake disc corrosion across multiple testing years suggests an ongoing issue with surface degradation that has not yet been addressed through component replacement. At 75,403 miles, this 17-year-old Nissan Note reflects low mileage, averaging approximately 4,435 miles per year. The data shows consistent annual usage, with only 1,173 miles recorded between July 2024 and July 2025, and 1,643 miles in the preceding year. This low-frequency driving pattern often leads to the accelerated degradation of rubber components and seals rather than mechanical wear, which aligns with the recorded findings of worn suspension bushes and corroded axles. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the front braking system, as the tester flagged the pitted and scored discs in both 2024 and 2025. The rear suspension also requires attention; the 2025 advisory regarding axle corrosion indicates that structural rust is beginning and could potentially progress if not monitored. Furthermore, the 2023 report of worn lower suspension arm bushes on both front sides suggests the rubber is reaching the end of its functional life, which may result in handling instability or knocking noises during a test drive.
