2011 Nissan Note 1.6L Petrol · CX11 PPV

The most recent MOT test on this 2011 Nissan Note, conducted just ten months ago on 24 July 2025 at 110,980 miles, confirms the vehicle remains roadworthy without any recorded defects. The absence of advisories or failures in the last two tests—spanning 12,629 miles between May 2024 and July 2025—suggests a stable maintenance pattern. However, the record reveals two consecutive failures in May 2023, each just 14 miles apart, which may indicate a temporary oversight rather than a recurring mechanical flaw. The vehicle’s compliance with emissions and structural checks in the most recent tests is reassuring, though the proximity of the 2023 failures warrants scrutiny of any components prone to rapid deterioration, such as brake systems or suspension linkages. The mileage progression of approximately 7,400 miles annually aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, without obvious signs of neglect or excessive wear. The gap between the 2023 and 2024 tests—roughly 11 months—is standard for MOT intervals, though the back-to-back failures in May 2023 could imply a brief period of inconsistent upkeep. There is no evidence of rapid mileage accumulation or prolonged inactivity, which would raise concerns about suspension degradation or drivetrain corrosion. The recorded mileage at the latest test confirms the odometer has not been tampered with, though a physical inspection of the vehicle’s underbody and wheel arches is essential to verify structural integrity. Given the lack of defects in the most recent tests, priority should be given to inspecting high-wear components that often fail without warning. The 2023 failures, though resolved, suggest potential issues with brake binding or uneven tread wear, so the condition of rear brake calipers, discs, and suspension bushes should be closely examined. The absence of advisories does not preclude corrosion—particularly in the subframe, sills, or wheel arches—given the vehicle’s age, so look for rust penetration or weakened structural panels. Tyres, while not explicitly flagged, should be checked for uneven wear patterns that could indicate alignment or suspension issues. Finally, the exhaust system and emissions components, though compliant in recent tests, may require verification for leaks or catalytic converter efficiency, especially if the vehicle exhibits unusual idling or power loss.
